Three Arrested for Vandalizing Fresno Police Patrol Car

Fresno police arrested Don Fernando Sanchez, 22, Guadalupe Rocha, 22, and Mya Molina on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026, and booked all three into the Fresno County Jail in connection with $6,000 in damage to a marked patrol vehicle vandalized on Jan. 30, 2026. Authorities said the damage was located on the vehicle’s roof and hood.

“The Fresno Police Department noticed that one of its patrol cars had been damaged on the roof and hood on January 30th,” a KMPH report stated, and investigators estimated repair costs at $6,000. Officers responded to a report of the damaged patrol car on Jan. 30 and logged the vehicle damage before the investigation began.

Investigators with the Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium identified the three suspects through follow-up work, GV Wire reported, and Fresno police executed the arrests on Feb. 18. According to GV Wire and The Fresno Bee, the trio was booked on felony vandalism charges with gang enhancements; other outlets described the bookings more generally as vandalism charges. News reports are inconsistent on Mya Molina’s age, GV Wire and YourCentralValley list Molina as 20, while KMPH reports her as 21, while Don Fernando Sanchez and Guadalupe Rocha are consistently reported as 22.

MAGEC detectives asked for public help in the case. “Detectives are asking anyone with information or video footage of the incident to contact MAGEC Detective Nicolas Romero at (559) 313-3668,” GV Wire reported, providing the direct tip line for the Multi-Agency Gang Enforcement Consortium.

All three suspects were booked into Fresno County Jail following the arrests, with booking details and exact charges reflected in media reports. GV Wire’s coverage included a photo credit line reading “ANTHONY SITE PHOTO.”

Investigators continue follow-up work in the vandalism probe and are seeking any surveillance or bystander video from the Jan. 30 incident. Journalists and members of the public seeking confirmation of charging documents or booking information can request Fresno County Jail records or contact Fresno Police Department public information channels to verify whether felony vandalism charges and gang enhancements have been formally filed.
