On the morning of October 2, a commercial burglary in Bloomington sparked an investigation that has led to the arrest of three suspects and the recovery of stolen property. Following up on the incident that occurred at a storage unit on Bloomington Avenue, Deputy Nunez of the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department, with the help of station detectives, managed to pinpoint John Wooten and Jason Bissell as the culprits behind the thefts, as reported by the Fontana Sheriff's Department.
On October 10, the suspects were spotted leaving a residence in Colton and were apprehended during what was described as a felony traffic stop. According to the official report, the subsequent search back at the Colton house detained Desiree Naranjo, also of Colton who was found in connection with a separate felony warrant. The investigators unearthed an array of items including firearms, ammunition, methamphetamine, and various goods linked to the Bloomington case and potentially other burglaries.
The intensity of the law's pursuit was made clear by their discovery of an electric bicycle, valued at $1,000, stolen in a separate burglary back in August. Handled with a search warrant, the officers were able to connect even more property found in Wooten's possession to commercial burglary cases in Tulare, suggesting a wider network of need carefully monitored for its sprawling reach.
Wooten and Bissell now face multiple charges including commercial burglary, possession of stolen property, and narcotics possession, while Naranjo is held accountable for the felony criminal threats warrant, as detailed by the SBSD - Fontana Sheriff's Department.
