Burglars stole $45,000 in cash, jewelry from SLO County home. Do you know suspects?
On July 1, at least two people broke into a home on Calle Arroyo at about 10 a.m. and stole 'a significant amount' of jewelry and cash, the Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
The estimated loss of property is about $45,000, Sheriff's Office spokesperson Grace Norris told The Tribune.
Video footage of the home showed two people exiting the yard at about 10:30 a.m. — one with black hair and a beard and the other wearing the hood of their jacket pulled over their head.
The pair left the scene in a 'black Hyundai Sonata with chrome trim around the windows and a chrome strip extending from the headlights to the side view mirrors. The passenger side view mirror may also be painted a flat black color, differing from the rest of the vehicle,' the news release said.

‘Stunning survival': California man missing for two days rescued alive from behind a waterfall
In what authorities are calling a 'stunning survival story,' a man who was trapped behind a roaring waterfall in the Southern Sierra for two days was rescued on Tuesday. The man, identified by the Tulare County Sheriff's Office as 46-year-old Ryan Wardwell of Long Beach, had set out on Sunday in Sequoia National Forest with plans to rappel down the Seven Teacups, a series of tumbling granite waterfalls in a tributary of the Kern River north of Kernville. During periods of lower flows, the stair-step falls are a popular objective for rappellers who descend each feature via ropes and harnesses. Partway down the fall, Wardwell got stuck in a cavern behind one of the surging falls. He 'had come off his rappel lines and got trapped behind the waterfall because of the extreme hydraulics of the river,' according to a statement from the Sheriff's Office. Tulare County authorities were alerted about Wardwell being missing on Monday. After searching the river from above with an aircraft equipped with an infrared camera, they identified his 'possible location.' But 'due to the late hours of the day and technical difficulty of the area,' officials opted to wait until first light Tuesday morning to attempt a rescue. Early Tuesday, search teams were deployed to the area and were able to fly a drone behind the waterfall where Wardwell was trapped. He was 'found alive and responsive,' according to the Sheriff's Office. Next, a California Highway Patrol helicopter flew into the river canyon and lowered a rescuer on a hoist cable down into the cavern where Wardwell was stuck. The rescuer secured the stranded man onto the hoist cable and the helicopter was able to extract him safely. He emerged with 'only minor injuries and dehydration,' according to the Sheriff's Office. In the wake of the incident, Tulare County authorities want to remind 'the public to always be aware of their environment and capabilities, especially when navigating white water rivers.'

3 charged with stealing $2M from Brink's truck amid string of heists in Philadelphia-area
Three men, including a former Brink's employee, have been charged with stealing more than $2 million from an armored truck in Philadelphia, the first in a string of such heists that have occurred in the area this summer, prosecutors said Aug. 13. Daishaun "Daisha" Hughes-Murchison, 30, Brian Wallace, 31, and Trayvine Jackson, 31, all of Philadelphia, were arrested and charged with robbery interfering with interstate commerce, and use of a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. All three had their initial court appearances last week. Jackson has been ordered detained, and Wallace and Hughes-Murchison will have detention hearings later this week, prosecutors said. The three men are accused of carrying out a brazen robbery of a Brink's armored car on June 21 in Philadelphia's Port Richmond neighborhood. The robbery took place at around 8 a.m. local time near a Home Depot store, according to court documents. A Brink's armored truck driver was walking down the rear alley of the store, which was part of his scheduled route, when two men approached the driver with AR-style rifles. The men forced the driver to the ground, and took both his company-issued firearm and keys, court documents state. While one of the men stayed with the driver, the other entered the truck and stole a "significant amount of cash," prosecutors said. The two men then fled from the scene in a black Hyundai Sonata and a third man was seen on surveillance footage following in a silver Ford Fusion, according to court documents. Investigators later discovered that the Ford Fusion belonged to Hughes-Murchison, and the Hyundai Sonata was rented by Wallace, who returned the vehicle a few hours after the robbery. Surveillance footage showed that after returning the Hyundai Sonata, Wallace got into Hughes-Murchison's vehicle and they drove off, prosecutors said. Cellphone records also revealed that Wallace and Jackson were in the area of the car rental site at the time, court documents alleged, and the phones of Wallace and Hughes-Murchison were also tracked to Home Depot at the time of the robbery. According to court documents, Brink's told investigators that Jackson had been a Brink's employee until he was suspended and terminated after an internal investigation. Several Brink's armored truck robberies reported in Philadelphia-area Following the June 21 armed robbery, police reported three other incidents involving armored transport vehicles in and around Philadelphia. On June 26, a Loomis truck driver making a delivery at an Aldi store in the Lawncrest neighborhood of northeast Philadelphia was approached by two gunmen, CBS News and 6abc Action News reported. The suspects disarmed the driver and fled with about $1,000, according to the television stations. Then on July 2, police said another armored truck robbery involving Brink's occurred outside a Dollar General in the Holmesburg Shopping Center in northeast Philadelphia, NBC Philadelphia reported. The suspects, including one who was armed with an AR-style rifle, attempted to access the truck but were unable to due to the vehicle's security locking system, according to the station. And on July 15, a Brink's employee opened fire at two men whom he alleged attempted to rob him in northeast Philadelphia, NBC Philadelphia reported. The men fled from the scene, and no one was injured in the incident, according to the station. Police investigating another armored truck robbery this week Police in Cheltenham Township, a community bordering Philadelphia, are also investigating another armored truck robbery that occurred at around 10:28 a.m. local time on Aug. 12. The Cheltenham Township Police Department said in a statement on social media that officers responded to a report of a robbery at an H-Mart store. Investigators determined that two suspects had robbed a Brink's armored vehicle, "escaping with a large quantity of (U.S. currency)," police said. One suspect was armed with an AR-15-style pistol while the other was armed with a handgun, according to police. The suspects also stole the armored vehicle driver's handgun during the robbery before fleeing in a black Acura TLX. The vehicle was later found in west Philadelphia, police said, adding there were no injuries reported in the incident. Cheltenham police told the Associated Press and local media that the suspects stole between $700,000 and $800,000. Police are investigating whether the robbery is related to the four other recent incidents in the Philadelphia area, according to the AP and NBC News.

Woman tries kidnapping child at fair, MD cops say. Family and bystanders step in
A child nearly kidnapped at a Maryland county fair was kept safe by his family, fairgoers and the event's employees after they 'intervened without hesitation,' a sheriff's office said. On-duty deputies at the Queen Anne's County 4-H Fair took action at about 6 p.m. on Aug. 11, when they learned of the abduction attempt, according to an Aug. 12 news release shared by the county sheriff's office. Then four people were taken into custody, including 28-year-old Alexandra Kay Dawson, who is now charged with kidnapping a child under 16, authorities said. The three others had visited the fair with Dawson and were with her 'throughout the evening,' according to the sheriff's office. But they were released after the sheriff's office said investigators confirmed they 'had no involvement in the crime.' Dawson, of Church Hill, was the only person trying to kidnap the child, according to authorities. She was also charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree assault. It is not immediately clear whether she has legal representation. At the fair, according to court documents reviewed by WBOC TV, Dawson tried to pull the boy away from his grandmother, whom he had been holding hands with while they were inside a goat barn. Then Dawson picked him up and put 'a baseball hat on his head,' the TV station reported, citing court records. As she tried to take the boy away, Dawson and his grandmother got into a struggle until a man at the fair grabbed ahold of Dawson's arm and stopped her from leaving the area, court documents say, according to WBOC TV. It was the first day of the county fair, which is held in Centreville, about a 30-mile drive east from Annapolis on Maryland's Eastern Shore. According to the sheriff's office, other bystanders also helped prevent Dawson from fleeing before authorities apprehended her at the event. In a statement, Queen Anne's County Sheriff Gary Hofmann commended everyone involved in protecting the child. 'The quick thinking and immediate actions of child's family, community members, and fair staff, combined with the pre-coordinated safeguards and emergency response protocols established by the Sheriff's Office and the (fair board), allowed our deputies to respond within moments,' Hofmann said. Now detectives are investigating additional 'reports of unwanted contact with children at the fair,' the sheriff's office said in the release. The reports have not yet been confirmed, according to authorities. Dawson is being held without bond, the sheriff's office said. After the agency posted the news of the abduction attempt to Facebook, the release garnered several reactions, including more than 1,000 comments as of the afternoon of Aug. 13. 'Someone didn't play when it came to that baby,' Facebook user Kat Steele commented. 'Takes a village.'
