With the recent rise in train car burglaries, Fullerton police officers have been increasing patrols around the train tracks throughout Fullerton. On April 4 at about 2:56am in the area of Dale and Artesia, officers stopped a van filled to the roof with boxes. In the end, the driver, a 36-year-old male from Culver City, was arrested for felony possession of stolen property, grand theft, and burglary. Officers recovered 234 stolen projectors worth $234,000.

Did you speak with Seargent Clyde?
He is apparently out of town. I e-mailed Sgt. Billy Phu.
Awesome reporting. Great job.
what does FSD press release mean?
That was meant to be FPD press release. Just means we got the info from the police department.
Who is the writer?
I am the editor. But for little crime blurbs like this in which we’re getting the info from the PD, we don’t generally credit a writer.
