Two suspects were arrested for alleged burglary and grand theft auto at Oasis Elementary in Twentynine Palms.
Yesterday morning (August 8), Morongo Unified School District Employees reported a burglary at Oasis Elementary that appeared to have occurred over the weekend. County Sheriffs say that a school vehicle and nearly six thousand dollars worth of computer electronics were stolen.
Sheriffs, alongside School Resource Officer J. Perez, investigated the incident, saying that video surveillance captured footage of suspect. Sheriffs said that witness testimony helped them locate the vehicle near the 73000 block of Sun Valley in Twentynine Palms. Sheriffs said that, after establishing surveillance on the vehicle, they followed two suspects back to a nearby apartment, where, after serving a search warrant, they recovered the stolen computer gear in addition to the vehicle.
Omar Rubio, 28, and Ovidia Guidos, 30, both residents of Los Angeles, were arrested for suspicion of burglary and grand theft auto. Sheriffs said that Rubio is currently on CDC parole for burglary, and both were booked at Morongo Basin Jail and being held on $25,000 bail.
Anyone with information related to this investigation is asked to contact Deputy J. Perez of the Morongo Basin Sherriff’s Station at 760-366-4175.
