The vehicle was reported stolen during a residential burglary in Red Mountain. The driver, Anthony Riggs of Barstow, was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle.
The investigation led to the service of a search warrant at a residence located in the 35100 block of Birch Road in Lenwood. The warrant was an attempt to locate additional items stolen during the burglary. As the investigation continued, it was believed Raymond Cantley of Perris was previously in possession of the stolen vehicle.

At approximately 5:44 p.m., a deputy in the area of National Trails and Frontier Road located the motorcycle traveling southbound on National Trails Highway.

The motorcycle rider, later identified as Cantley, lost control of the motorcycle and crashed in the desert. Deputies learned the motorcycle was also stolen from the residential burglary in Red Mountain.
