About 18 guns stolen during Yucca Valley home burglary

Deputies are searching for two men and two women connected to multiple crimes in Yucca Valley that occurred Monday morning.

The Morongo Basin Station was called at about 6:45 a.m. to investigate suspicious activity near Joshua Tree Road and Old Woman Springs Road. Deputies found an abandoned Nissan Pathfinder that was stolen from the 55100 block of Airline Drive in Yucca Valley the previous night, according to the sheriff’s release.

Two men abandoned the SUV after being confronted by a concerned citizen who said he saw them loading tools and an ATV into the stolen vehicle. The suspects ran from the scene and were seen getting into a silver Chevy sedan driven by a woman, with another woman riding along with her.

The suspects drove away are they’re still on the run.

Deputies said they recovered about $1,500 worth of stolen tools from the abandoned Pathfinder. They didn’t release any more details about the ATV that was reported by the concerned citizen.
