A burglary was bungled at a Yucca Valley grocery store, and so the alleged thief locked himself in the store’s bathroom for 40 minutes until Sheriff’s Deputies arrived.
The Sheriff reports that yesterday (November 2) just before 9:30 a.m., Travis Sharp, a 33 year-old Yucca Valley resident, entered the Yucca Valley Aldi, located near the corner of Twentynine Palms Highway and Warren Vista, through the back “employees only” entrance. Sharp was seen attempting to pry open an office door, entering the employee break room, and carrying stolen property back toward the rear entrance.
According to the Sheriff’s report, Sharp then carried the stolen property into the store’s bathroom, where locked himself inside.
Authorities were called, and, after waiting in the locked bathroom for 30 to 40 minutes, Deputies were able to get him out of the bathroom and recover the property that he had been carrying.
Travis Sharp was arrested for alleged Commercial Burglary.
