The Sheriff Department of San Bernardino County is operating again with local law enforcement agencies in San Bernardino County. From January 4 to January 17, this Smash and Grab Operation Procedure has led to 16 crimes arrests and $ 2,933 in restored property.

The Department of Bands and Drugs in San Bernardino County, Rancho Kukamonga Station, San Bernardino County Probation Department, Internal Security Investigations, California Highway Patrol and the San Bernardino Police Department have conducted this operation to steal participation.

This operation focuses on commercial neighborhoods in Rancho Kukamonga, Apple Valley, Hesperia, Victorville and Chino Hills to violate and dismantle the theft of retail stores. Researchers use conventional and unconventional undercover work methods to wait for parking lots to complete this task and reduce the effects of this reported retail theft.
