3 felons busted for armed robbery in Southern California

Three felons have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery in Riverside County, authorities announced Monday.

Deputies with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Perris Station responded to the 2000 block of North Perris Boulevard on reports of the Mar. 24 robbery at around 10:30 a.m., a department news release stated.

Details are limited and it’s unclear exactly how the incident unfolded, but authorities located the victim at the scene who had allegedly been robbed at gunpoint by the three suspects who fled the area before deputies arrived.

Members of the RCSD’s Robbery Burglary Suppression Team assumed the investigation and apprehended the three men, later identified as 44-year-old Ontario resident Deandre Owens, 22-year-old Riverside resident Damar Thedford and 39-year-old Riverside resident Treyvon Williams.
