Last week Air 29 responded to assist Palmdale Sheriff's Station deputies with a theft in progress call. Being first on scene, Air 29 observed the suspect vehicle and the suspect stealing a large quantity of diesel fuel. Air-29 maintained a visual of the vehicle as it fled the scene and advised ground units of its location. Palmdale Station deputies conducted a traffic stop and took one suspect into custody while recovering more than 1500 gallons of diesel fuel and burglary tools. Great job by all involved.

Every ship needs a captain, and Aero Bureau is no different. We'd like to introduce you to our Captain, Blanca Arevalo. She's led the bureau for just over two years now and came to us after an extensive career in field operations. If you happen to see her at one of the events we're at, don't hesitate to stop by and say hi!
