Crime/Sketch Date:  04/02/2009

Crime(s):   Robbery by a Minor

Agency:  Orange County Sheriff’s Department

Several businesses in South Orange County were robbed at gunpoint, so a composite sketch was created.  A deputy recognized the suspect from the sketch and was able to name him. 

Several hours after the suspect’s eighth robbery, deputies received a disturbance call at a park, not far from the crime scene.  They found an eighteen year old male and female drinking alcohol with a seventeen year old male. 

While writing a citation to the seventeen year old, the deputy recognized his name as being the suspect named in the string of robberies.  Deputies arrested all three and recovered the handgun, which turned out to be a realistic looking pellet pistol.
