SUMMARY: On Monday, October 3, 2022, at about 11:20 p.m., the victim was fishing in the California Aqueduct, near Nolina Drive and Bentwood Street in Hesperia.

The victim was able to call 911 and shortly after, responding deputies located the victim's abandoned vehicle in the area of First Avenue and Sage Street. Additional property was found to be missing from the victim's vehicle. The victim did not receive any injuries during the incident.
