A juvenile from Grand Terrace is in hot water after being nabbed for an armed robbery at a local Chevron Gas Station, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department. The 15-year-old suspect was arrested after deputies reviewed surveillance footage and spotted him near the crime scene days later.
The teen, whose identity remains under wraps due to his minor status, allegedly pulled a knife on a gas station clerk and made off with $280 in cold, hard cash. This robbery happened last Friday, but it wasn't until the following Wednesday that law enforcement officers caught a break. The juvenile was booked for PC 211, Armed Robbery, and now faces his fate at the San Bernardino County Juvenile Hall ahead of arraignment.
San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Shannon D. Dicus has kept details about the victim, keeping the confidentiality intact. However, the department is actively looking for more information related to this troubling incident. Detective K. Neff-Fergot of the Central Station is the go-to for tips, which can be shared via a call to (909) 387-3545.
Details of the case (No. 122300910) and a request for public assistance were officially disseminated on December 14th, as per the department's press release.
