Sheriff's Department Updates 

The Jurupa Valley POP Team located several Recreational Vehicles illegally parked in the open field east of La Canada Drive and Muriel Drive. The subjects on the property had several gas generators running on the ground near dry brush, posing a potential fire hazard. Everyone at the location was contacted and asked to leave the property for several city ordinance and criminal trespass on private land violations. The subjects insisted they paid the property taxes for the location and were allowed to be there. The POP Team conducted follow-up with the property management company and Jurupa Valley City Hall, and discovered the subjects were trespassing. With the help of the property management company the subjects voluntarily left the location without incident. 

The Jurupa Valley POP Team conducted proactive patrol at the old Kmart shopping center, located near Limonite Avenue and El Palomino Drive. Several citizens have noticed an increase of illegally parked recreational vehicles in the area. Upon arrival, 3 subjects were contacted and informed of the "No Trespass Letter" on file at the location. The Jurupa Valley Code Enforcement team was notified and "tagged" the RV's to be removed. All the subjects were offered services through Path of Life Ministries and refused assistance. The following day the POP Team revisited the Kmart and all RV's left the area. 

The Jurupa Valley Special Enforcement Team (SET) was working crime suppression in the area of Jurupa Road and Felspar Street. A male subject was located near the homeless encampments south of Jurupa Road and Felspar in possession of a stolen Chevrolet truck. The male subject was taken in custody. A record check revealed the subject was on felony probation for prior stolen vehicles, and currently out on bail for felony domestic violence. The subject was arrested for possession of the stolen vehicle and booked into RPDC.
 
The Jurupa Valley POP Team conducted follow-up at the open lot north of San Sevaine Way and Bain Street. In March, a large homeless encampment was discovered and cleared with the assistance of the property owner. On today's date the POP Team discovered 4 encampments in the same location. The property owner was contacted and coordinated a clean-up with the assistance of Jurupa Valley Code Enforcement. The Jurupa Valley POP Team continuously revisits locations to prevent new encampments from establishing.
