“The reporting party provided a detailed physical description of the three male suspects and the red Ford Explorer in which they fled the neighborhood,” Emami said.
An Irvine police officer spotted the SUV and made a traffic stop, she said.
“The three occupants were positively identified as the suspects, and multiple stolen package and a stolen credit card were located in the car,” Emami said.
Arrested on suspicion of theft, conspiracy and contributing to the delinquency of a minor were Alejandro Juarez Morales and Vincente Juarez, both 25, Emami said.
The name and age of the juvenile arrestee were withheld because he’s a minor.
