Burglary

On 01-05-19 at approximately 2:30 p.m. Tulare County Sheriff’s Deputies from the Orosi Substation were dispatched to the 4900 Block of Stagecoach Road in Badger, CA. in regard to a burglary.  Upon arrival Deputies contacted the Reporting Party who advised she had been out of town for the past two weeks.  During that time frame, she said unknown suspect(s) forced entry into her house and stole miscellaneous tools, clothing, expensive household items, kitchenware, a washer and dryer, a refrigerator and other assorted tools from the exterior areas of her property.  In total the Reporting Party estimated her loss to be approximately $18,360 dollars. Due to the large quantity property that was stolen Detectives from the Property Crimes Unit responded and took over the investigation.

 

At 9:45 pm Detectives were able to gather information, which led them to an address in the 41400 block of Road 124 in Orosi, where they executed a search warrant.  While at the house Detectives located items that matched those stolen during the original call. The Reporting Party was asked to respond to the location and later verified items found, did in fact, belong to her.  In total Deputies recovered $5,500 worth of equipment and stolen household goods.   The property was returned to its rightful owner without incident.     

 

Through the investigation, Detectives learned that a local resident named Tim Anderson, 51 years of age, was responsible for the burglary and had dropped off the property at this location.  In fact, he also held a yard sale over the weekend and is believed to have sold more of the stolen property that remains outstanding.   Detectives were unable to find Tim Anderson at the home in Orosi, but he is currently being sought in connection to this case.   

 

Therefore, anyone with information about this investigation or who may have recently purchased property from Tim Anderson is urged to contact Detective Anthony Ellis at the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department via telephone at #1-800-808-0488 or anonymously at tcso@tipnow.com or by text or voicemail at #559-725-4194.

 

Stolen property was recovered and returned to its owner after being found during the execution of a search warrant at a residence located in the 41400 Block of Road 124 in Orosi, CA.
