Arrest in Burglary Investigation
 
On 7/22/08 the Bakersfield Police Department Burglary Detail, assisted by the
Kern County Sheriff Department, culminated a 3 week long residential burglary
investigation with the service of two search warrants and the arrest of:
  Caleb Michael Bland (22), of Bakersfield.
 
Bland, the owner of Movement Ride Shop, 10530 Rosedale Highway, was
arrested on four counts of receiving stolen property and four counts of
contributing to the delinquency of a minor.  
 
This investigation began after two juveniles were arrested for several residential
burglaries which had occurred in both the city and county areas.  Detectives
learned that the juveniles had sold the stolen items to Bland at his business. 
During this investigation detectives seized various electronics such as X-box
systems, a Wii system, cellular phone, and iPod.  During the searches yesterday
additional suspected stolen property was seized.  Detectives will be working to
confirm this. 
 
This investigation is ongoing.
