Sheriff links Mexican cartels to $2.25 million theft of Central California farm equipment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2024
- A sheriff's office in Central California announced a big theft ring of AG equipment has been uncovered and claims Mexican cartels are funding it.
They blame the problem on an unsecured border and say lawmakers must be held accountable.
Crooks have been stealing heavy AG equipment from farms across Central California since March, according to officials.
Losses to farmers total $2.25 million and on Tuesday law enforcement served six separate search warrants in Hollister, Los Banos, Riverdale, and Lindsay.
"All of these findings suggest and have led us to a very sophisticated network of thieves trafficking heavy agricultural equipment and machinery as an organized criminal activity," Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said.
In arrests made earlier this year, truck drivers told detectives all of the stolen ag equipment was destined for Mexico.

Good work law enforcement. Thank you.
Open borders, is a problem here
anyway, we know how to vote this time
It is not an open boarder.
@@DondiniMontefusco depends who you're with
@@decollector95 Generally speaking, it is NOT an open border for semi-trucks passing through a border patrol controlled border… hence the issue mentioned in the story about evading security checkpoints.
@@DondiniMontefusco I don't like your implications
The cartels can't afford agricultural equipment?
Right?
It's just another way they make revenue
Why pay for what you can get for free?they need the equipment to plant there Marijuana crops in California. They have crops growing everywhere in California...
Most likely stealing it and selling it to the Chinese who have invested heavily in Mexico and fund the cartel
@@Gocubsgo1958 Including Sequoia National Park!!!
Yet another way the open borders hurts our economy…. Hurting our farmers.
They’ve been doing this for years, but yes the open border policies are dumb.
Yes agree but this idiots act like this’s new it’s been happening for years
There are us citizens that are cartel member i hope you realize that lol
It is not an open boarder.
And where do you think the farm labor comes from?
Theres something call la aduana when you enter Mexico. Someone is in charge of letting this load in. That person must.get jail time too.
US politicians control the port in mahaual. Everything starts there goes to Durango
Theres no more Aduana

The white folks in charge at the border are corrupted as hell…
We did it, Joe👏. Open border was the keyword.
You acting like this’s new this been going on for years
It’s more about the thieves evading security checks at the boarder rather than simply saying it’s an
“Open boarder”… a huge MAC truck is going to pass through an “open boarder”? How so? Off-roading in the sand of the desert in the middle of nowhere?
@@DondiniMontefusco Finally. A reply with some sense. Thank you.
Wait till you find out about the weapons that get taken down there
We stopped them, that’s the opposite of what Biden wanted. How about you go to Texas and tell them to fix their border
Cali government , District Attorneys, AG Bonita Cali AG & rogue judges all need to stop protecting these criminals .. enough is enough..
Except --- that they cannot. these themselves ARE the elite criminals, the worst of the worst type; because they don't wear criminal tatoos on their forearms and foreheads, instread, they wear dark sigils in their dark hearts!
Soon those criminals will be replaced by other criminals so yea….
FYI THEY ARE THE CRIMINALS 🫵🏻😎👍
who? and what case? what is the evidence?
This is leadership in California. Good job Newsom.
The southwest is Native/Mexican land, stolen from Mexico in fact, hypocrites.

What could go wrong after decades of extorting under paid immigrants with temporary visas?
Underpaying? Then maybe they should stay in Mexico, where they can earn better wages. Nobody forces them to work here you id ee ut
If you’re a Democrat, it’s justified to Rob steal and kill ? Come on men stupid comment
Stop the Open Border 🤬💯💯
Right on Biden and Harris. Great Job protecting our country.

Don't blame them. Diaper Donnie killed the border bill. So, get busy blaming your own guy
what does this local sheriff's department have to do with billionaires and their puppets in Washington?

@@newvilla8115Do FACTS hurt your fragile feelings?
Actually the best friend they’ve ever had is trump, price of drugs doubled and so did smuggling illegals so trump only made them more money.
@@grumpyvet7670 Cartels always here while Trump was a president. You guys are useless. they did it without trump, It's a fact! suck it up
Open border into Mexico and open into America are two very different situations.
Not true. Cartels have so much money they don't need to steal farm equipment. Where do you think cocaine and marijuana are grown these past decades?
Wouldn't doubt law enforcement involvement in this since it initially started off so smoothly.
You bet your booty that 4 sure Tulare County Sheriff was on top of this sh!t!! Ag crime has been going on here for many Decades, meanwhile TCSO has developed strategies to drastically lower the "success" rate of these theiving vermin.
Go TCSO!! 😻😻
Inside jobs
expect it to get worse as our hispanic population increases
Talk about an Open Border!!! WOW
He says they tracked 1 criminal over 500 times across border. Talked of many other instances of tracking illegal activity. Why did they never do anything all this time? This is nothing more than political statements from this sheriff and his buds by what they are saying
Hey now, Don't be doggin' our Sheriff!! This ag theft sh!t has been going on here in the Central Valley for DECADES!!! Just because our Sheriff et al aren't on TV or social media every day about ag, drug, or gang busts does Not mean that they're not on top of things here. You asked why the law never did anything all this time. You would believe that, but I know they stayed on the down low because they were after the leader/s of these vipers. The actors/thieves are the little fish, and TCSO et al were, and always are, after los Jefes, the Bosses!
Go TCSO!!! 🎉🎉
God bless your hard work
Excellent work gentlemen!
Greasy Newsoms California
Oh puhleese. Newsom isn't greasy! He's oblivious! What's happening in the Central Valley with ag theft has been going on for many DECADES and Tulare County Sheriff et al are dead serious about kicking ass and taking names!! We don' need no steenking governor!! Go TCSO!!! 💖💖
🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯lock the border
They are not sending their best -Donald J Trump
Meanwhile we already got plenty of white American rapists and murderers
They’re American citizens 😂 I guess that says a lot about Americans.
@@mar10tee61 Mmmm, not usually. I live in the Central Valley where farms, dairies, and orchards, are a huge part of our history and economy.
Many hundreds of farms/growers hire temporary/seasonal workers from Mexico with their temporary visas.
Oh, I get it. You are being sarcastic!! Well ha ha. Just don't be dogging these temp workers because not only do they work their butts off in Hot temps, they're doing the very work that citizens won't do!! I appreciate them and their desire to come here and contribute to the tax base and to get our crops picked in time to get them to the rest of the US and abroad!! 😻😻
@jeannineharrelson1201 people that come on that type of visa can only come in once and leave once, it doesn't apply like having citizenship or a normal visa where one can cross as many times as they want.
Confiscate tbeir property, all of it.
they already did, all of California is Mexico
thank you for uploading news .
Good work Sheriff...
they nothing and stole it themselves and made zero arrests
The Cartels have more money than Kings County. Why the fuck would they dedicate energy to that when they can write Case, IH, or any mfgr a check for a fleet of them? Dumb
40 bucks an hour is no money if you treat us like a third world country will act like a third world country.
It took y’all that long to figure it out
They still haven’t
It practically fell in their lap.
Someone installing lojack solved this crime
Cops would rather pull people over and harass lie on paperwork make up stuff,low hanging fruit only.
60 percent of crimes go unsolved
They were waiting for election time
Always an long term investigation 😅

@@dandoss-xp2qq no thanks 🥱
Hell no
they did nothing and made stuff up with zero evidence like normal. then gave everyone advice on how to vote because of "open borders". There has never been an open borders policy lol
Close the boarder. Vote Trump! Amputation is the answer.
America and Canada would crumble why do you think trump didn’t do anything once he realized they NEED Mexico
@ There’s only one way to find out. Let’s see what will happen when one of them will take office.
Close the boarder permanently
Why us is the problem us is the real cartel leaders
border, it's border. You have to know how to spell it to close it.
I am Mexican and these cartels need to be stopped. I am so disapointed that they are the reason why Mexico is being humilated and the USA should take action to it or it will become more serious.
What did you think was gonna happen? It may never be possible to get them out now they are giving the Latino's everything. California is gonna have issues you won't imagine, especially in smaller towns. They Live a different life. FJB.
They work hard for their things it’s just so unfathomable to you how they can pass you up that you sincerely believe everything is being “handed” to us. But thank you for the compliment we’re coming up so fast y’all sincerely believe it’s just being handed to us 😂😂
@mar10tee61 It is and has been for decades. Get off Govt free programs and prove it. Better, go back and Make your Country better. Then, let Others in and have what you created and worked for, then come talk to me. Handed Everything and anything in their Native language. Get Phucked.
Open border ??? I dare anyone leave the country and try coming back without any proper documentation.
You don’t know how to swim?
Troll for KH much?
@ you could not be further from the truth. I’m not a KH fan at all. I’m just speaking facts. The border is not open. Don’t believe me. Let’s go on a trip. I’ll pay for it. You just leave your passport behind and try to get back into the United states without it.
@Jesus-mc2do And what state are you in? I'm in a border state. The whole issue has very little to do with immigration and a whole lot to do with Trafficking especially children and women into sx slaves. Where are you?
If it’s an open boarder, then go retrieve the equipment… don’t tell us “it’s gone forever”.
Biden/ Harris will get it back.
😂 haha just kidding
Yea they have the GPS signals wtf taking so long
2.25 million? So like 2 tractors??
Said just like a true Democrat🙄
The land owners know.✅️
You know it.
Of course they bring this up this close to election 😂
Like abortion rights...
Cartels write Italian super-exotic sports car manufacturers checks for more than that. This doesn’t make ny damn sense
Would you rather they hide the truth, like CNN and msnbc do?
“Open border” 😂😂 I took a car to a body shop in Tijuana and I was investigated for 2 hours at the border. 😂 let’s not forget this sheriff was the one who said the goshen massacre was a “cartel hit “ 😂 turns out it was a couple tweeters from goshen .

Great work but please stop bringing politics into law enforcement! 🤦🏽♂️
So politics do not play a part in crimes? LOL okay bud
@@McNuttDickerson Right?
It’s politics that allows this and much more. So no !!
Politicians leaving an open border for criminal gangs to enter the country has nothing to do with it?
Aww, does it hurt your fragile feelings, knowing that you voted for IDIOTS who allowed this to happen?
He keeps saying agricultural equipment but only talked about construction equipment. Backhoes, an excavator and a loader.
It’s all common equipment for ranchers and farmers.
@@ambermyers7463 I guess the farmers I worked for when I was younger were too broke to have that kind of equipment. It would have been nice to have for sure.
Law enforcement in California cowardly.
How is it an OPEN border when they pass through a vehicle checkpoint run by customs?
@@PhrontDoor agreed… exactly my point!
That’s what I’m saying. All the border patrol agents and human smugglers must be laid off right. It’s like anybody living here illegal can just go back recross the border become legal and and on top Of that get benefits.
Thanks Harris!!!
This sounds like a regular day in Los Angeles & San Bernardino county.
We're those John deer equipment. If yes once broken down useless since only John deer can fix. Give the farmers money to buy something else they can work on, let the cartel keep the bricked equipment.

This situation is a continuous process that I have seen since at least 1982. Horse thieves were held accountable back in the Old West.
While working in official capacity and I assume on the clock they make a politically motivated statement doesn't make them the best people to guide my voting choice. They make it sound like crime both cross boarder and domestic all of a sudden appeared and a change in office will legislate away the problems of drugs and crime that we know go back decades.
From the speech driving a tractor trailer loaded with stolen heavy equipment across the open border would be easy if you have been across the border especially in a commercial vehicle you know it is not open in either direction but i would guess they are only repeating what they heard.
Magnificent work ladies and gentlemen 👏👏👏 you prevented them from plowing new marijuana crops. 👏
This has been going on for decades.
Hmm and the farmers don't get money when they report it stolen?
Oh my, for someone with Such a rare and beautiful name, you sure are cynical!! Farm equipment has deductibles on it that they gotta pay, just like w car insurance. The farmers DON'T profit off this sh!t, but instead get huge headaches. Are you named after someone? I have no idea where/how my momba got mine, but I'm happy she did! 😊
But this has been going on for years now!

Just because they sell drugs and are Mexican doesn’t mean they are cartel. Resellers that purchase item from Costco in bulk do they work for Costco?
How has criminal activity been allowed to cross our border since at least the 1980s, in an 18-wheeler?? How have these law enforcement employees your agencies are investigating, been allowed to operate for decades?
When gaffing the equipment disconnect the battery disconnect anything that might receive power check your Wi-Fi. Make sure that no AirTags are low. Jack can be identified.
Give those farmers back their equipment!!
Merced county sheriff 🤡
This has been going on for years! Cars and Trucks were being stolen and taken across the Border in the 80’s so what struck a Nerve this time? Because it was farm equipment? Well I was farm equipment back then and it didn’t matter then, Police just told us to call our insurance company I’m just curious as to why suddenly it’s big News?
This crime fell in their lap.
They just want to harass hard working citizens.
And drug users,not the dealers too scared for that.
I am wondering if there is another ring of outlaws in Texas, 16 Head of 900 pound steers removed from The Brewster Ranch (Bristow, OK Creek County). Steers would be primarily black but also a few mixed colors withe Brewster brand on right hip. Blue fly tag in left ear. If anyone has leads, contact the Southwest Cattle Ranchers Association with special Ranchers. I wish I could show photos, however I believe one could look up the branding on Brewster Ranch sites or contact Brewster Ranch., Thank you
This is just now being investigated, since I was a teenager this is happening. about time people start doing their job
8:15 With reports about cartel involvement in the avocado trade, why doesn’t the government consider a temporary ban on Mexican avocados until the supply chain can be cleared of cartel influence? Given the risks, it seems like a stronger stance could help prevent funds from flowing into trafficking networks.
why he zoom in on that mans face like that lol
Newsome is a straight DISGRACE as governor 🤡🤮🤮
Glad they are stopping and busting the trash of our communities. THANK YOU Newsom for this trash.... this is ALL your fault.
Let VP harris know.

Is there even a Black Market for implements of husbandry or is this another attack on farmers/food supply?
They been putting equipment in containers for many years .

They also steal honey bee hives - a huge agricultural loss in CA.
