INCIDENT: Residential Robbery, Burglary, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle
LOCATION: 12700 Block of 5th Street, Yucaipa.
VICTIM(S): Confidential
SUSPECT: Gage Cochrane, 24-year-old resident of San Bernardino
SUMMARY: On June 16, 2023, Gage Cochrane drove an Acura RSX to the victim’s residence as he looked for his ex-girlfriend. Cochrane yelled for her to come outside, but she refused. Cochrane tried to pry open the door but was unsuccessful. He then kicked in a window AC unit and climbed through the opening. Once inside, Cochrane realized 911 had been called and law enforcement were on their way. Cochrane grabbed a set of car keys as he ran out of the home.
Cochrane jumped walls into several backyards and tried to enter at least three residences as he fled. He climbed through a doggie door, into a garage of a residence on Emerald Bay Court. The homeowners saw Cochrane on their video cameras and locked the interior garage door before he was able to enter the interior of the residence. Cochrane left the garage and was last seen jumping the fence into the drainage ditch along Hidden Bay Cove, between 5th Street and 6th Street.
Deputies set up a perimeter and called for assistance from Sheriff’s Aviation and Rancho Cucamonga Police Department's tracking Bloodhound. The bloodhound tracked Cochrane into the Aladdin Mobile Home Park on 6th Street but Cochrane was not located.
The Acura RSX had been reported stolen from Dunlap Elementary’s parking lot on June 13, 2023. Cochrane is wanted for PC 212.5-Residential Robbery, PC 459-Burglary, and PC 496d(a)-Possession of a Stolen Vehicle. Cochrane remains at large. Cochrane is described as a white male adult, 5’9”, over 160 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes, and was last seen wearing a black shirt, grey gym shorts, black socks, and one shoe.
