Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor GLENDORA - Police tracked down a self-admitted Azusa 13 gang member in a stolen vehicle after they say he committed two armed robberies in town Tuesday.
Police accuse Jesus Avina, 19, of driving around, using a knife to threaten his two victims and demand money and cell phone. Avina first threatened a female victim as she rode a bicycle near Yucca Place and Leadora Avenue around 6:30 a.m. Avina drove off and 10 minutes later, he brandished the knife at a man out for a walk near Palm Drive and Estrada Way. Avina allegedly escaped with the demanded property, according to the Glendora Police Department. A license plate number was obtained and detectives determined the suspect vehicle was reported stolen in Covina. Detectives also identified Avina as a suspect, Glendora Police said. “At about 1:30 p.m. Avina was located in Azusa while driving the stolen vehicle. He was arrested and transported the Glendora Police Jail. The weapon used in the robberies was located in Avina’s possession at the time of his arrest,” according to the Glendora Police Department. Avina has been arrested four time since November of 2020 for grand theft auto. He is also on probation for robbery. He was released a little more than two hours from the Covina Police jail under the current “zero-bail” order. He was in Covina Police custody for grand theft auto and allegedly stole the vehicle used in the Glendora robberies after his release, Glendora Police said. Police will present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and seek two charges for robbery, one count of stealing a vehicle, possessing metal knuckles and possession of a concealed dagger. |
