Navarro is wanted on multiple felony charges, including felony grand theft and a felon in possession of a firearm, police said.
Anyone with information about Navarro or his whereabouts is asked to call the Fresno Police Department’s non-emergency line at (559) 621-7000.
Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-STOP, and police said tips that lead to an arrest could be eligible for a cash reward.
Police said the department, working with local law enforcement agencies and merchant loss prevention teams, will continue investigating and prosecuting retail theft cases.
Police also said that, as a result of Proposition 36, investigators can now seek additional felony charges against chronic retail theft suspects, which carry stiffer penalties and longer jail terms.
