GRAND TERRACE

Teen held after several sites spray-painted

Sheriff's deputies arrested a boy suspected of tagging several Grand Terrace locations with spray paint.

Two teens were seen out about 10:35 p.m. Sunday by sheriff's deputies who were patrolling near Barton Road and Palm Avenue.

The deputies stopped them because they were out past the city's 10 p.m. curfew. While talking with the teens, deputies discovered that one of them had a spray can in his possession and his hands were covered with wet paint, according to a sheriff's news release.

When sheriff deputies checked the area, they found a number of freshly spray-painted locations.

The boy was arrested, issued a notice to appear in juvenile court, and released to a guardian.

Man arrested after stolen motorcycle found

A man suspected of stealing a motorcycle and storing it under a tarp at a friend's Grand Terrace residence has been arrested.

Steven Greene, 26, of Grand Terrace was taken into custody Saturday on suspicion of possessing a stolen vehicle Saturday, according to a sheriff's news release.

Sheriff's deputies reportedly saw the motorcycle underneath a tarp during a burglary investigation in the 22000 block of Grand Terrace Road and contacted the homeowners.

The homeowners told officials Greene was storing the motorcycle there. Sheriff's deputies were given permission to inspect the motorcycle and found out through a records check that it had been reported stolen in Colton, authorities said.

Greene came back to the residence a few hours later and was arrested, according to the news release. The homeowners told officials they did not know the motorcycle was stolen.

Anyone with information about the stolen motorcycle can call the sheriff's Central Station at 909-387-3545
