Palm Desert Man Accused In Multiple Area Burglaries

PALM DESERT, CA — A Palm Desert man is accused of breaking into "multiple" local vehicles and burglarizing them, sheriff's officials said Thursday. The 40-year-old was arrested Wednesday in connection to the case.

According to sheriff's Sgt. Myers, the Palm Desert Burglary Suppression Unit was looking into "multiple vehicle thefts in Palm Desert and other cities throughout the Coachella Valley" when they pegged Ryan Knoedler as the suspect.

On Wednesday, the team served a search warrant in the 42500 block of Kansas Street and found Knoelder and evidence leading to his arrest, according to Myers.

"Deputies located stolen motorcycle and two illegal firearms," the sergeant said.

Knoelder was arrested on suspicion of several felony theft and gun charges, jail records show. He was taken to the Indio jail where he was booked en lieu of $30,000 bail.
