Two men were arrested for an alleged armed robbery spree of United States postal carriers in Riverside and Los Angeles counties.
Shortly after 10:30 a.m. on March 24, Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an armed robbery near Storke and Bertain drives in Palm Desert and found a U.S. postal carrier had been robbed at gunpoint, said Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Jeff Cryder.
The suspects were only described as a male armed with a gun who exited a vehicle occupied by an additional suspect.
An investigation from the Palm Desert Business District Team concluded that the suspects carried out more robberies and attempted robberies in Cathedral City and multiple cities in Los Angeles County, according to Cryder. The team identified the two suspects as Luis Alberto Gonzalez, 32, of Victorville and Jose Estevan Chavarria Jr., 28, of Los Angeles.
An arrest warrant was issued for both suspects, and the U.S. Postal Inspector’s Office and Riverside County District Attorney’s Gang Impact Team collaborated to try to locate them, according to Cryder.
On March 28, Burbank police officers conducted an unrelated vehicle enforcement stop and identified the two suspects.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department took custody of the two men and booked them into the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside.
Chavarria’s bail was set at $1 million bail, and Gonzalez’s bail was set at $80,000.
Anyone with information about the robberies was urged to contact Deputy Granados of the Palm Desert Station at 760-836-1600.
Hope they can get them deported with a chip. I am fed up with the crime and no one being made responsible because of Grewsom sanctuary states and the donations from Soros going to the DAs, judges, attorneys, and senators and anyone liberal in CA and other states. Not safe to shop or even drive.
