YCSO Searches for Owner of Stolen Memorabilia
The Yuma County Sheriff's Office is searching for the owner of some stolen sports memoriabilia. Every day hundreds of vehicles pass through the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 8, but when agents searched a car on January 4th, they found some pretty expensive loot.
"Things like autographed eight by ten glossy photographs, regular baseball cards, things from basketball, football and baseball," says Capt. Eben Bratcher with the YCSO. The memorabilia collection also included a signed picture of basketball pro Michael Jordan.
Deputies also found a gun, traces of meth, and drug paraphanelia inside the vehicle. They arrested 26-year-old Michael Martinez and 25-year-old Clint Merrill on drug and weapons charges.
In the meantime, YCSO is trying to find the owner of those expensive sports items.
"We're putting it out to the media hoping that someone recognizes this and calls to report it. They may not even, at this point, know it's been stolen."
