Three individuals — Wei Guo, Jian Huang and Ling Li — were caught red-handed (and red-fingered) in the middle of stealing cherries from a farm near Waterloo and Fairchild roads in San Joaquin County, California, on June 1.
Over $2,000 worth of cherries were stolen, and another $2,000 in crop damage was done.
Deputies also uncovered ledgers tying the suspects to a string of similar thefts across multiple counties. The suspects were allegedly selling the stolen goods at fruit stands throughout California. Thousands of dollars in cash were seized, their vehicle was towed, and all three were booked on felony charges including theft, conspiracy, and agricultural crimes.
This wasn’t just a petty pick — it was a well-organized produce plunder. The investigation is ongoing, with leads sprouting up across county lines.
