FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 Detectives investigating a string of thefts targeting Lowe\u2019s stores in Fresno and surrounding cities have identified a suspect and recovered thousands of dollars in stolen merchandise, along with two firearms.<\/p>\n

The Fresno Police Department\u2019s Organized Retail Theft (ORT) team said it investigated thefts reported between November 2025 and February 2026 and identified Isaac Navarro as a suspect in cases with losses totalling more than $7,000.<\/p>\n

Detectives served a search warrant on Monday, where they recovered more than $3,000 worth of stolen property and two unregistered firearms during the search. <\/p>\n

The recovered property has since been returned to the retailer.<\/p>\n

Navarro is wanted on multiple felony charges, including felony grand theft and a felon in possession of a firearm, police said.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about Navarro or his whereabouts is asked to call the Fresno Police Department\u2019s non-emergency line at (559) 621-7000.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Police said the department, working with local law enforcement agencies and merchant loss prevention teams, will continue investigating and prosecuting retail theft cases. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif.
