Following
an extensive investigation, Big Bear Sheriff Detectives arrested 51 year-old David
Lynn Sandstrom Tuesday November 17th. Sandstrom was arrested and charged for illegal
sexual acts with a child under the age of 10. Sandstrom and the juvenile victim
are residents of Los Angeles County.
The
case was reported in late August to the Los Angeles Police Department. During
the initial investigation, officers of the LAPD determined that Sandstrom
perpetrated crimes against the victim in the City of Valencia and also at a
rental cabin in the City of Big Bear Lake. Sandstrom is believed to have
sexually violated the victim on multiple occasions over the past two years.
Thursday
November 5th, Detectives and the Big Bear Sheriff’s Multi-Enforcement
Team executed a search warrant at Sandstrom’s residence in Alta Dena,
California. During service of the search warrant, evidence, including
electronic devices belonging to Sandstrom, were seized. Sandstrom was not home
at the time the search warrant was served, and became evasive when Detectives
attempted to locate him.
