SUMMARY: Deputies from the Fontana Sheriff's Station responded to a Grand Theft investigation approximately three weeks ago. Deputy D. Beare determined employees from the Nordstrom's Distribution Center were involved in an extensive theft scheme. The thieves stole high-end merchandise from clothing to watches from the distribution center. After each theft, the suspects advertised the stolen goods on a public auction site and sold items at a fraction of the retail cost. Nordstrom's loss prevention personnel determined those thefts exceeded $200,000.
On Thursday, Deputy Beare and members of the Criminal Investigations Division, executed multiple search and arrest warrants from Pomona to Beaumont. Sheriff's personnel recovered over $100,000 in stolen merchandise. Deputies also recovered stolen firearms, narcotics, body armor, and an undisclosed amount of cash, which was determined to be proceeds from the stolen merchandise.
Dominique Harges and Francisco Garcia were arrested on multiple counts including Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Conspiracy to Commit Commercial Burglary and Grand Theft, and Possession of Stolen Property, they were booked at the West Valley Detention Center and are awaiting arraignment. Suspect Joseph Bennett is still outstanding and a warrant for his arrest was issued.
