A woman suspected in an armed robbery in Apple Valley was arrested after she was found in a stolen vehicle in Victorville, said San Bernardino County Sheriff’s officials.

Rocksan Nunez, 26, remained at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday, with bail set at 150,000, booking records show.

She was scheduled to appear Wednesday in Victorville Superior Court.

The Apple Valley Sheriff’s Station said that at 5:17 p.m. on Sunday, deputies were dispatched to the report of an armed robbery in the 21000 block of Highway 18.

A man at the property said when he confronted two subjects taking property from the yard, one of them pointed a handgun and robbed him of his wallet. Both subjects then fled the location before deputies arrived.

At approximately 12:07 a.m. on Monday, Victorville Sheriff’s Station deputies located the vehicle used during the robbery and conducted a felony traffic stop. The driver, Nunez, was identified as one of the suspects in the robbery.

During a vehicle search, deputies recovered the stolen property and the gun used in the robbery. A records check revealed the gun and the vehicle were stolen.
