Detectives from the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff have recovered most of the items taken during successive burglaries at a home on Alhambra Valley Road in unincorporated Martinez last month.
A spokesman for the Office of the Sheriff said Wednesday that investigators received several anonymous email tips and voice messages on the tip line indicating the location of the stolen property.
Detectives went to the location given and found numerous bronze statues, whiskey decanters, and other items that were stolen from the residence.
Investigators executed three search warrants at locations in the El Sobrante area finding more stolen items and arrested 49-year-old Charles Somers of San Pablo for possession of stolen property in connection with the burglaries.
In addition, Somers, a parolee, is being held on a parole violation. Somers is currently in custody at the county jail without bail. The investigation into the burglaries is continuing. Anyone with any information on this case is asked to contact the Investigation Division at (925) 313-2661.

Glad they got it back for the owner but have to say that is one ugly statue
O my. I’m not so sure I would want it back!
He took this stuff, saw it, and went back for more? A suggestion: art appreciation classes.
Amazed they found the stuff. Did the thief have trouble selling it or something?
No thank you very much.
I’m glad they got their stolen items back (very rare), and a parolee is in jail without bail. That’s all that matters.
