SLO County law enforcement head to Los Angeles amid protests
San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's deputies are headed to Los Angeles to support law enforcement's response to the ongoing protests against immigration enforcement. According to a news release from the Sheriff's Office on Friday, a total of 23 deputies were sent to Los Angeles after a mutual aid request from the state Office of Emergency Services. Another four officers were sent from the Arroyo Grande Police Department and two officers and a commander were sent from Grover Beach, the release said. The SLO County responders are being sent for public safety purposes and to protect government buildings, the release said. They will not be assisting with immigration enforcement. 'It is our hope that peace and calm is restored to Los Angeles, and our local law enforcement members are able to safely return to their homes,' the Sheriff's Office said. The Grover Beach Police department also posted about the deployment on its Facebook page. 'It's important to note that this assignment is specific to public safety and keeping the peace,' the post read. 'California State Law prohibits local law enforcement from conducting immigration enforcement. We wish all of our SLO county agencies well as they help keep Los Angeles safe this weekend.'

SLO County home was being fumigated. That's when burglars struck
At least $6,000 worth of items were stolen from an Arroyo Grande home while it was being fumigated, and while one arrest has been made, other suspects may still be at large. On March 28, it was reported that multiple items including several firearms, jewelry and cash were stolen from a home in the 1300 block of Sierra Drive in Arroyo Grande while the home was unoccupied and tented for fumigation, Arroyo Grande Police Officer Dave Culver told The Tribune on Friday. According to a Facebook post by a neighbor in the Arroyo Grande Current Affairs group, 'part of a respirator' was found in the back yard, indicating the burglars had 'carefully prepared to enter the toxic environment' of the fumigated home. Officers were able to determine through surveillance footage that a burglary occurred on March 28 in the early morning hours, Culver said. Later, while conducting a traffic stop on on April 9, the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office contacted two individuals in possession of two of the stolen firearms, Culver said. One of the individuals, a prior felon from Oceano, was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property but could not yet be tied to the burglary, Culver said. The man was also in violation of possessing ammunition and additional drug charges, Culver said. The Arroyo Grande Police Department learned of the arrest from the Sheriff's Office on April 10, Culver said. While the man has not yet been charged in relation to the burglary, the Police Department's investigative unit was then able to obtain a search warrant for his vehicle and phone, which they are currently examining as a part of their ongoing investigation, he said. So far, the vehicle has been searched and the cell phone is awaiting a forensic search, Culver said. 'We are investigating to see if that individual was the person who committed the burglary in our city, or if they are somehow connected to the individuals that committed the burglary in our city,' Culver said. 'We are still investigating to determine our suspects in the burglary case. The individual that's been arrested was arrested because he was found to be in possession of stolen firearms.' Culver noted there are still potentially additional suspects and encouraged anyone with information to come forward. 'As far as it is still an active and ongoing investigation, and as always, we would encourage anyone with any information (to) please contact the Police Department detective unit, and we will be following up on any leads that come in,' Culver said. 'We're investigating all individuals who we think might be associated with this.' Anyone with information can contact the Arroyo Grande Police Department at 805-473-5110.
