Even though there’s been an arrest, much of the equipment stolen from a firefighter’s truck at the U.S Forest Service Office parking lot in Nevada City is still missing. So now the Tahoe National Forest is offering a reward of up to 500-dollars for its recovery. The break-in occurred in late December or early January. Supervising law enforcement officer, Jerry Parker, says some of the ten-thousand dollars worth of items was found at a homeless camp on Sugarloaf Trail, where 50-year-old Ronnie Custer was taken into custody. He says the reward also applies to information leading to the apprehension and conviction of anyone else who might possibly be involved…
The truck was parked in a fenced-in, locked area of the office lot…
Parker says they would especially like to recover the radios and other equipment that could only belong to a firefighter. If you have any information, call 265-4531.
