In Yucaipa, California, 85 valuable koi fish were stolen from a decorative pond outside a restaurant. Surveillance footage captured two masked men stealing the fish in the early hours of June 21. Investigators later located a suspect and discovered a large water tank at his home, but only five koi were recovered. Koi are prized for their appearance, with prices ranging from $50 to $1,500 each, and the remaining 80 fish are still missing as authorities continue their investigation.
“Koi are highly valued for their size and vibrant coloration, and can sell for anywhere from $50 to $1,500 each, depending on their lineage.”
“Investigators later serving a search warrant on a home said they noticed a large water tank, but by then, only five koi were recovered.”
“Deputies used surveillance footage and vehicle tracking to locate one of the suspects... At his residence, they discovered a large water tank believed to have held the stolen fish.”
“While the motive remains under investigation, the theft occurred in the early morning hours of June 21 as two masked men stole around 85 koi from a pond.”
