Carjacked Off-Road Vehicle Recovered, Juvenile Arrested

Detectives recovered the Can-Am Maverick that was carjacked at gunpoint May 20 in Orosi Tuesday in the Yokuts Valley area. Detectives were able to identify one of the two suspects wanted in the carjacking, a 17-year-old juvenile. A warrant was obtained for his arrest. Shortly before noon on 6/9/23, County Apprehension Team Tracking Criminals in Hiding (CATTCH) detectives located the juvenile suspect in Orosi and took him into custody. Detectives searched his residence and found two loaded, unserialized AR15-style rifles (ghost guns) in his bedroom along with Norteno Gang indicia. The juvenile was booked at the Juvenile Detention Facility for his involvement in the carjacking. Detectives continue to search for the other suspect, an Hispanic adult male.
