On May 21, 2013 at about 6:20 PM, a woman reported she was the victim of a strong arm robbery and attempted kidnapping of her infant son near the Las Positas Garden Townhomes. Yesterday at 3:00 PM, the victim in this case, Jennifer Flores, D.O.B. 1/17/90, was placed under arrest for filing a false police report, a violation of 148.5(a) PC. A warrant was obtained for her arrest and she was taken into custody without incident at her place of employment in the City of Dublin.
Detectives began working on this case immediately based upon the seriousness of the allegations. As Detectives spent more time with Flores they discovered several major inconsistencies in her statement. Detectives located surveillance video of Flores leaving her purse at Domino’s Pizza in the City of Pleasanton one hour before she reported the robbery. Surveillance video showed the purse with the employees of Domino’s pizza during the same time period Flores stated this crime occurred. The next day Flores is seen returning to the store to recover the purse she reported stolen. Even after Flores recovered her purse from Domino’s she continued to mislead Detectives.
Flores was taken into custody and a search of her person resulted in the discovery of property that she had reported as stolen. Flores finally admitted she fabricated the entire story. Flores was booked at Santa Rita Jail with a $10,000 bail.
