Gucci Slipper-wearing thief pleads guilty to Palm Springs burglaries

A man who burglarized two Palm Springs homes, and was
later caught wearing a pair of Gucci slippers taken during one of the break-
ins, pleaded guilty today to burglary, vehicle theft and receiving stolen
property.

Joshua Ramey, 29, of the San Bernardino County community of Landers,
is slated to be sentenced next Thursday for burglarizing one Calle Marcus house
twice within the span of a few days in December 2016 and then burglarizing a
second home on Cactus Road two months later.

Police say Ramey burglarized a home in the 1600 block of Calle Marcus
on Dec. 19, taking several items from inside the residence, along with a 2003
Chevrolet Malibu, after entering the home through a backdoor. He returned three
days later in the homeowner’s stolen car and took more items, though a neighbor
was able to snap a photo of him on the second occasion, according to police.

On Feb. 27, Ramey burglarized a home in the 1100 block of Cactus Road,
and was captured on video surveillance footage taking items, including the
Gucci slippers that he was wearing on March 10 when he was arrested at a Palm
Springs business.
