Kohr, who is currently on parole for auto theft, is being held in San Luis Obispo County Jail in lieu of $70,000 bail.
Kohr was arrested in the Shell Beach area after Pismo Beach police officers noticed that a car window had been smashed and some vehicle doors were ajar. He was located in a stolen vehicle, said police Sgt. Steve Weir.
“We have a car stuffed to its gills with property,” Weir said. “We’ve got victims right now as far south as Ventura.”
Items recovered include computers, iPhones, cameras, surfboards — including one custom board stolen in Santa Barbara County — and a firearm.
