San Bernardino Man Arrested in Connection with String of Vehicle BurglariesSource: SBSD - Fontana Sheriff's Department

San Bernardino has witnessed a significant break in a recent string of vehicle burglaries with the arrest of a local man. Marc Sanchez, a 40-year-old resident of San Bernardino, faces multiple charges related to the theft and possession of stolen property, as reported by the SBSD Fontana Sheriff's Department. On Tuesday, detectives took action to apprehend Sanchez, who was found with not only a substantial cache of stolen goods but also two stolen vehicles.

An investigation initiated by the Fontana Sheriff's Station into a series of vehicle break-ins that occurred on January 18, identified Sanchez through surveillance footage. The culprit utilized stolen credit cards to boldly make fraudulent purchases at various local businesses—a brazen act in an attempt to quickly profit from his crimes. Despite an initial setback when three individuals, unconnected to these burglaries, were arrested for mail theft, relentless detective work paid off with the identification of Sanchez.

Sanchez's arrest in San Bernardino was a culmination of focused investigative efforts. According to a release by the SBSD Fontana Sheriff's Department, his apprehension revealed not just evidence of recent car burglaries but also raised the possibility of further undiscovered victims. In light of these developments, authorities are actively urging the public to come forward with any additional information that could stretch the tapestry of Sanchez's alleged criminal activities even further.

At the time of his arrest, Sanchez was booked into the Central Detention Center and is being held without bail. With the investigation ongoing, detectives are hoping to shed more light on the extent of Sanchez's activities and to return stolen properties to their rightful owners. As they continue to work tirelessly to untangle this web of thefts, the Fontana Sheriff's Station has released photos of the suspect and suspect vehicle, hoping to encourage members of the community to potentially identify and recover their possessions.

Anyone with knowledge that could contribute to this case or identify as a possible victim is encouraged to reach out to the Fontana Sheriff's Station at 909-356-6767.
