A man was reported to be found inside of a car at a Yucca Valley car dealership, and arrested for investigation into car theft.
Early Friday (March 8) morning just before 4 a.m., County Sheriff’s Deputies received a call that a man was seen on live security footage attempting to enter a vehicle on the lot of Joshua Tree Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram on Twentynine Palms Highway.
Deputies responded to the dealership, and say they found Nicholas Cirillo, 33, inside of a vehicle that was for sale, with his head down. Cirillo told the deputy that the vehicle was unlocked, and that he found the keys inside. The deputy reports that the ignition was in the “on” position, and that Cirillo was in possession of suspected prescription medication.
Nichola Cirillo was arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft and booked at the West Valley Detention Center on $30,000 bail.
