2555 block of Yorkshire Boulevard in Riverside, a person entered the Crescenta Valley Station regarding what appeared to be a real sheriff’s badge/identification that he had purchased from an online seller. He purchases items that had been used in films, with a specific interest in law enforcement props, and thought initially it was a prop. He found the seller on social media and purchased the badge and wallet in Riverside from the seller. When he went to purchase the badge the seller retrieved it from a nearby bush where it had been hidden. Once the man had purchased the badge/wallet he thought it many have been genuine and not a prop because it appeared the badge had been heavily used and he noticed an engraving on the back of it. He realized the badge was genuine and took it to the sheriff station and turned it over to a sergeant, who found the original owner of the badge. The owner stated he had reported the badge missing, along with other items, two years ago. He originally thought he had lost it while traveling at an airport. The sergeant also identified the seller, who had an out-of-county felony warrant for a parole violation.

The item was taken to the CV Station at 2:50 p.m.
