FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — A suspected serial burglar is in custody after being accused of stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of property from several schools in Fresno and Kings counties.<\/p>\n

Fresno County Sheriff’s deputies were first alerted to the crimes in early August following a burglary at the future site of Clovis South High School.<\/p>\n

Later that same day, deputies attempted to stop a stolen pickup truck near Manning and Englehart avenues. The driver allegedly jumped out and ran into an orchard to escape.<\/p>\n

Investigators searched the truck and found a variety of power tools valued at approximately $25,000. A contractor working at the Clovis South High School site reported the tools stolen.<\/p>\n

Detectives later identified the driver as 35-year-old Joe Ramos-Flores.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, a search warrant served at Ramos-Flores’ home linked him to crimes at Clovis East High School, Fowler High School and Lemoore High School.<\/p>\n

The investigation remains ongoing. Detectives believe Ramos-Flores may have been working with other suspects.<\/p>\n
