Zieba said that Erik Valencia, Chamber ex- ecutive director, and his staff at the city's re- quest gathered and set up a number of links for the business community and city employees. Al- so, the Chamber has re- programmed its website and reached out to notify the Hispanic community about the city's action.

MVT Staff Report
The Fresno County Sheriff’s Of- fice is turning to the public to help identify a large cache of stolen items recently recovered by detectives.
On March 19, property crimes detectives with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office recovered close to $1 million worth of stolen proper- ty. The items mostly consisted of designer purses, shoes and jewel- ry and detectives are now focused
on identifying the rightful owners of the items.
Detectives served search war- rants at two different storage fa- cilities in the Fresno area and dis- covered stolen merchandise inside multiple rental units. Detectives said the decision to visit the loca- tions was based on a large ongoing investigation involving residential and commercial burglaries.
It is unknown how much of the property may have been sto-
len from addresses within Fresno County but detectives are current- ly cross-referencing their reports to see if any of the items match. Other local law enforcement agen- cies have also been contacted by FCSO to help identify the items.
Detectives are asking that any member of the public who believe their items are shown in any of the photos to contact Fresno Sheriff’s Detective Austin Herion by email- ing austin.herion@fresnosheriff.org.
