“On March 28, deputies responded to a report of vandalism at Ampine in Martell. Upon arrival deputies determined that numerous items were stolen form the property. Deputies identified the suspect vehicle on video surveillance.
The following day deputies were informed the stolen items were posted for sale online. A buy/bust was set up to recover the stolen items. The owner identified the items and one of the suspects (Teresa Lucero from Jackson) was arrested.
Detectives executed a search warrant at Lucero’s residence and located additional stolen property. Detectives determined another suspect (Paul Regruto from San Andreas) was involved in the theft. Detectives found additional stolen items at Regruto’s residence. Regruto was located and arrested two days later by patrol deputies.”
