After removing some property, which included the victim’s wallet and credit cards, both suspects fled the area on foot.

Within an hour of the robbery, the victim’s credit cards were used at various gas stations and fast food restaurants in the cities of Santa Paula and Ventura. Gang investigators identified one of the subjects using the credit cards as Adam Gonzalez. Sheriff’s gang investigators also identified Angel Aguirre as being a suspect in the robbery.

On January 16, 2009, gang investigators arrested Gonzalez at his residence in the 600 block of Center Lane, Santa Paula. He was booked into the Ventura County Jail for the robbery charge.

On the same day, gang investigators served a search warrant in the 300 block of Dartmouth, Santa Paula. During the initial search, two male juveniles were contacted.
