2 Pomona men and 1 teenage boy arrested on suspicion of robberies including in Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto and San Antonio Heights

Two men and a teenage boy have been arrested by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department on suspicion of armed robbery, home invasion robbery and residential burglary in connection with several robberies this year in four Southern California counties.

K’aron Knight, 20, Ricky Gonzalez, 18, and a 16-year-old boy, all of Pomona, were arrested over the past few weeks, the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement April 4.

Officials said the three targeted communities in San Antonio Heights in the Upland area, Rancho Cucamonga and northern Rialto. The robberies started on Feb. 10 when the Sheriff’s Department said two pizza deliverymen were robbed.

“Shortly after, the suspects followed a woman from a shopping center to her San Antonio Heights residence,” officials said. “After the elderly woman entered her garage, the suspects held the woman at gunpoint and robbed her using force. Two days later, the same suspects robbed another woman at gunpoint after she exited her vehicle in the garage of her residence.”

Authorities said after those armed robberies, the same suspects are believed to have committed armed robberies in Claremont, Mission Viejo, Riverside and Walnut.

The Sheriff’s Department said an investigation revealed the car used by the suspects was an Audi A3 that was stolen in Beverly Hills.

“Investigators verified the residences of the suspects and executed several search and arrest warrants,” officials said. “These searches resulted in recovery of multiple stolen items.”

The 16-year-old boy was the last of the three suspects, and he was arrested on April 3.

Knight, Gonzalez and the teenage boy also have pending cases in Riverside, Orange and Los Angeles counties, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
