SIMI VALLEY : Equipment Found From Computer Theft
Simi Valley police Monday recovered about a third of the computer equipment stolen from a city freight company last week, authorities said.
Tipped to the location of the stolen goods by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Cargo Criminal Apprehension Team, Simi Valley detectives and deputies found the stolen equipment and booty from other truck hijackings in a locked Gardena warehouse.
No one was present in the warehouse at the time of the raid, and no arrests were made, Simi Valley Detective Tom Marshall said.
About $200,000 worth of the Packard Bell computers taken from CF MotorFreight in Simi Valley early May 2 were found inside the warehouse, police said.
Police also recovered $80,000 worth of clothing stolen in the City of Industry in Los Angeles County, and $50,000 worth of auto parts taken from the Wilmington area of Los Angeles, authorities said.
The investigation is continuing, police said.
