Sheriff’s detectives say they arrested Garcia in Sep- tember of 2015 on 15 counts of felony burglary. At that time, he was investigated for breaking into seven schools, seven churches and one com- mercial warehouse between mid-March and late August of the same year.
In those cases, Garcia
reportedly stole electronics such as televisions, desktop computers as well as laptops.
He reportedly served a two-year sentence in the Fresno County Jail for those crimes.
The investigation is on- going and anyone with addi- tional information about the suspects is asked to contact Detective Michael Gong at (559) 600-8709. Information may also be given by con- tacting Valley Crime Stop- pers at (559) 498-7867 or at valleycrimestoppers.org. All informants remain anony- mous and may be eligible for a cash reward.
