The Kern County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area around 7:45 a.m. for reports of vehicle burglaries, with their crime scene unit collecting DNA swabs and fingerprints from one of the vehicles. <\/p>\n

Ballard also mentioned that her husband’s coworker’s truck was broken into while she was sleeping. <\/p>\n
