In a recent incident in Victorville, a man who stole a bicycle and a backpack from a residence was apprehended and arrested after being found in possession of narcotics and a loaded weapon. The arrest highlights the importance of reporting crime and taking legal action to ensure justice and safety in our communities.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department responded to reports of a fight between a group of men at the Victor Valley Transit Center on a Sunday afternoon. Deputies were informed that one of the suspects was armed with a handgun. Upon arriving at the scene, they located a man matching the suspect’s description leaving the area on foot.
The man, identified as Geovani Galeano, 34, of Victorville, was detained without incident. During a search, deputies discovered narcotics and a loaded, unregistered semiautomatic handgun in his possession. Further investigation revealed that Galeano had stolen a bicycle and a school backpack from a residence in Victorville.
The victim of the theft took immediate action and located the stolen bicycle on the front of a VVTA bus. The victim followed the bus to the bus hub, where a struggle ensued when Galeano was seen exiting the bus wearing the stolen backpack and removing the stolen bicycle from the bike rack. Thankfully, no injuries were reported during the confrontation.
Galeano was subsequently booked into the High Desert Detention Center in Adelanto and is being held in lieu of $40,000 bail. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of reporting crime and seeking legal action. Here’s why:
1. Ensuring justice: Reporting crime allows law enforcement agencies to take appropriate action and apprehend the perpetrators. By reporting incidents promptly, victims play a crucial role in ensuring that justice is served.
