In a swift response to two consecutive armed robberies on Monday, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has arrested two adults and a juvenile.
At approximately 12:45 p.m., authorities were alerted about an armed robbery of a taco truck in the Thornton region. No sooner had deputies reached the scene than a subsequent report of another similar crime in the Flag City area, close to Highway 12 and Interstate 5, was relayed.
Quick sharing of suspect information among law enforcement units led the California Highway Patrol to pinpoint the suspected vehicle on Highway 12 near Ray Road, moments after the incidents.
The detainees, including a 20-year-old man from Stockton, a 34-year-old Lodi woman, and a 17-year-old male, are now in custody. Interestingly, the juvenile was already on law enforcement's radar, with an ankle monitor confirming his presence at both crime sites.
All arrested parties are currently facing charges of robbery, conspiracy, among other allegations.
