SUMMARY

On Saturday, July 25, 2015, at about 9:53 p.m., two robberies occurred in the city of Chino Hills. The victims are not associated to one another and were walking on the sidewalk in the area of Chino Avenue and Peyton Drive when the crimes occurred. In both robberies, the suspects drove up to the victims, pointed a silver colored semi-automatic handgun at them and demanded their property. In fear for their safety, the victims complied and handed their property over to the suspects. As the suspects fled, one of the victims was able to obtain a license plate number.

Deputies from the Chino Hills Police Department responded and initiated the investigation. With the information provided by the victims, deputies were able to positively identify Suspect #2 and his vehicle. Deputies obtained an arrest warrant for Suspect #2 and authored a search warrant for his residence. The information on Suspect #2 and his vehicle was provided to law enforcement agencies throughout Southern California in case they came across the suspects.

On Sunday, July 26, 2015, at about 4:50 p.m., Huntington Beach Police Officers found the suspect vehicle, which was occupied by five subjects. Officers initiated a traffic stop and detained all of the occupants. Investigators from the Chino Hills Police Department were notified of the stop and drove to Huntington Beach. Through investigation, three of the five subjects were identified as the suspects in the Chino Hills robberies and an additional robbery in Rancho Cucamonga.

During a search of the vehicle, investigators located evidence linking the passengers to the crime. Deputies also recovered property that belonged to one of the victims from Chino Hills. Chambers was booked into the West Valley Detention Center and the two juveniles were booked into San Bernardino County Juvenile Hall for Robbery and Conspiracy.
