On Monday, February 18, 2019, deputies from the Barstow Sheriff's Station responded to a residence in the 43000 block of Warbonnett Road in Newberry Springs regarding an investigation into stolen property.

    The property was stolen from a truck which was on its way to a film shoot of a Netflix production.  The truck was reported stolen to the Barstow Police Department earlier in the day and was recovered by officers of the California Highway Patrol, however, the property remained outstanding.

    According to the reporting party, Global Positioning System (GPS) data indicated the stolen vehicle made prolonged stops in a remote desert area north of Interstate-15 near Hacienda Road.

    Deputies responded to the location and located some of the stolen property in the desert.  Deputies later responded to a residence near where the property was located in the desert and found more of the stolen property.  This discovery led to the service of a search warrant at the residence and a subsequent search warrant at a different residence.

    During the search warrant services, deputies located approximately $1,280,066 worth of the stolen property, two firearms, a quantity of suspected methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia.
