(KMJ) – Fresno County Sheriff’s property crimes detectives have arrested 29-year old Ramee Ayesh of Salinas on four felony counts of burglary and two felony counts of possessing stolen property.
Those charges stem from the March 16th burglaries from three different locations in Friant. One was at the Millerton Country Store, another was at a home in the Brighton Crest development. and the third was at a home in the Mira Bella development.
Deputies say Ayesh broke through a window to get inside the Millerton Country Store. He checked for cash in the register, but found it was empty, so he left without taking anything. Ayesh later broke into a home located in the Mira Bella development. He rummaged through things and stole some personal and financial documents. Finally, Ayesh went to a home in Brighton Crest. There he forced a door open and stole cash, jewelry, electronics and an autographed Mike Tyson World Championship Boxing Belt (pictured below). The owner considered it a one of a kind item and valued it at $15,000.
On March 29th, detectives contacted the manager at Salinas Valley Ford and learned Ayesh was currently working as a salesman at the dealership. Detectives drove to Salinas and contacted Ayesh during his shift. They searched his car and found items belonging to victims of the Brighton Crest and Mira Bella homes. They also uncovered a claim ticket from Clovis Gold and Silver for the Tyson boxing belt.
Ayesh was arrested with incident and transported to the Fresno County Jail. Detectives recovered the majority of the stolen property, including the Tyson boxing belt. Those items have been returned to the owners.
