SUMMARY:
On February 13, 2019, Victorville City deputies responded to the 12000 block of Santa Fe Trail reference a report of a residential robbery. The suspect took $300 from the victim and fled the location. Through investigation, the suspect was identified as 30-year-old Richard Flores. Flores is a documented gang member out of San Bernardino and was already wanted on a probation violation. He was also identified as the suspect in a dangerous pursuit in Hesperia on February 10th.

On February 10, 2019, Hesperia deputies attempted to stop Flores driving a stolen vehicle near Main Street and Cottonwood Ave. Flores fled from deputies at a high rate of speed with a complete disregard for public safety. He reached speeds over 100mph and went airborne through intersections. The pursuit was terminated based on the risk to the public. The vehicle was later found abandoned and deputies were able to identify Flores as the driver.

On February 15, 2019, deputies from the Victorville Gang Team received information Flores was in the area of Winona and Eleventh in the City of Victorville. Deputies conducted surveillance and spotted Flores in the parking lot of the Mountain Vista Apartments. Flores was arrested without incident. Two other subjects seen with Flores were detained after they left the area in a vehicle. The driver was identified as Christopher Mena, 37 years old, a parolee and documented gang member who was just released from prison, and the passenger was identified as Raul Hernandez, 36 years old.

Two handguns were in the car and both subjects were arrested.
Flores, Hernandez and Mena were all booked into the High Desert Detention Center on various felonies.
