SUMMARY: On July 6, 2017, Loss Prevention Officers from Kohl’s, located in the 14300 block of Bear Valley Road, reported four subjects acting suspiciously. They were observed placing merchandise into four large bags. The subjects exited the store, leaving the bags behind, and had come back into the store.

Deputies from the Victorville Police Department responded to the location. They positioned themselves near the store and with the assistance of California Highway Patrol’s H82 helicopter, were able to observe the four subjects as they continued to enter and exit the store several times. At one point, two subjects exited the store, got into a green Honda Accord and began driving through the parking lot. Deputies conducted a felony vehicle stop and took the two into custody without incident. As deputies were conducting the stop on the vehicle the other two subjects ran out of the store, each carrying two of the bags filled with unpaid merchandise. Deputies quickly ordered the pair to stop. Both dropped the bags and one complied with commands and was detained. The other subject began to run but was caught on Bear Valley Road, in front of the store.

The Honda being used by subjects was found to have been stolen from it’s owner’s home earlier in the day.

All four subjects, identified as Venetta Carrillo, Nicholas Segura, Rick Paez, and Kevin Pratt, were booked at High Desert Detention Center for burglary and possession of a stolen vehicle.
