Police Seek Owners of $50,000 in Stolen Goods
Police are looking for the owners of about $50,000 worth of jewelry, electronics and other items found in a Costa Mesa home and believed to be stolen.
The items were recovered in a March 20 raid of a home in the 500 block of Hamilton Street.
“There was property everywhere--in the attic, underneath the kitchen table and in the headboards,” Det. Dave Andersen said. “We found two mink coats, valued at $8,000.”
Detectives were able to return the brown and white mink coats, which were taken during a home burglary, but most of the confiscated items have not been claimed, police said.
Items recovered in the search include tools, televisions, video recorders, watches, rare coins, cellular phones and leather jackets, police said.
Juan Alvarez, 38, and Silvia Alvarez, 30, were arrested on suspicion of possessing stolen goods and selling drugs.
The items will be on display Friday at the Costa Mesa police substation at 567 W. 18th St. from noon to 8 p.m. Information: (714) 754-5252.
