Two men were arrested and face several charges after they were caught with an estimated $25,000 worth of property allegedly stolen out of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train Saturday, authorities announced.  Just before 12:30 p.m., deputies with the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department received reports of suspects stealing merchandise from the cargo container of a stopped BNSF train around the area of State Highway 138 and Summit Valley Road near Hesperia.  The caller told authorities that the suspects then fled west on Ranchero Road in a red truck “with a large amount of merchandise in cardboard boxes in the back,” an SBSD news release stated.  An SBSD deputy out of the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Department located the truck approximately 11 miles away on Ranchero Road, near Escondido Avenue and conducted a traffic stop.

Winderman’s view: Trust grows thin in Heat win in thick of playoff race

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:49:47 GMT

Observations and other notes of interest from Sunday night’s 112-100 victory over the Detroit Pistons:– One thing about a playoff race is it shows you who a coach trusts.– We’ve already seen Duncan Robinson disappear from the rotation.– Now, with Kyle Lowry back on Sunday night, Victor Oladipo was shuffled out of the mix.– Just as he was on Wednesday night, when he did not play.– And yet another night when Omer Yurtseven’s initial cameo was his only opportunity of substance.– With Haywood Highsmith getting the second-half call, instead.– Albeit briefly.– And one has to wonder what Erik Spoelstra truly thinks about Tyler Herro’s shot selection.– So Spoelstra rides with hope in Kevin Love (until he starts to bleed out).– While hoping for a quick return from Cody Zeller.– All as the play-in clock ticks.– It’s as if an entire regular season has come down to when Jimmy Butler returns in ...
