WARRANT ARREST LEADS TO FREEWAY SHOOTER IN CUSTODY AND FIREARM RECOVERED On May 15, CHP Officers from the San Jose Area office
responded to an incident involving a freeway shooting on Interstate-280 at
the Saratoga Avenue off-ramp. After gathering necessary information from the
victim—and with the assistance of the Flock
Safety camera system to locate a potential suspect vehicle―Manuel Cadenas, 41,
from San Jose was identified as a suspect. The evidence collected culminated
in the authorization of warrants for the search of Cardenas’ residence as
well as his arrest. On July 25, the CHP Golden Gate Division Special
Investigations Unit, supported by the San Jose Police Department, executed
these search and arrest warrants. Cadenas was taken into custody and a
firearm was recovered. 2.
STOLEN
TRACTOR-TRAILER YIELDS ‘LOUD’ RESULTS
Officers with the
Golden Gate Division Cargo Theft Interdiction Program (CTIP) along with the
Solano County Auto Theft Task Force were made aware of a stolen shipping
trailer parked in an undisclosed location within Solano County. After some surveillance and investigatory
work, an enforcement stop was made when the trailer started moving, which resulted
in the arrest of the driver and recovery of over $200,000 worth of stolen
merchandise including soundbars and LG electronics. Remember the saying “If
it’s too good to be true, it probably is!” 3.
IT’S AN ABSOLUTE
MIRACLE MISSING BOY FOUND SAFE On the morning of August
4, 2024, CHP Helicopter-42 (H-42) received a call to assist the Madera County
Sheriff’s Department with the search for a missing five-year-old
boy. The boy had been missing since 5:00 p.m. the prior day from the
Mammoth Pool Reservoir Campground. The child had wandered off while his
family was preparing dinner. A massive search and rescue operation was
conducted, which included numerous agencies. At approximately 8:00 a.m.
the next morning, after being alone for approximately 15 hours (and through
the night), the child was located not far from the campground. H-42 landed,
and the paramedic on board provided medical care for the child. Wonderful news: The boy was evaluated by
medical professionals and released from the hospital the same day. 4.
