Alwishah, a market employee, had "numerous" stolen items, including items stolen from the Palm Desert residence, he said.

"Additional confirmed stolen property from thefts in the cities of Palm Springs, Indio and Coachella was also recovered inside the market," Farwell said. No information was made available about the other crimes.
