The helicopter located a vehicle matching the suspect description in the Banning area. Deputies nearby responded and successfully apprehended the suspect. The stolen jewelry, valued at approximately $45,000, was found on the suspect and recovered. The suspect was identified as Jason Warren, a 28-year-old resident of Los Angeles. Warren was booked into the John Benoit Detention Center for commercial burglary.
