The officers called the Tuolumne Sheriff’s office for backup. Deputies went to the Boy Scout Camp and confirmed that six buildings had been burglarized. Sheriff’s spokesperson Sgt. Jacob Ostoich detailed, “Helsel admitted to burglarizing the camp and being under the influence of a controlled substance.

Helsel's accomplice was also arrested. Both Helsel and Vierra were taken into custody for felony burglary and criminal conspiracy.

I'm not going to lie.  When I clicked on the topic, I thought it said "CHP arrests camp buglers".  🤣

On topic, you have to be a truly despicable person to steal from a scout camp.  I am glad they were dumb enough to get caught.
