Earlier this month, local authorities received a call from a retail establishment in the 8200 Block of Delta Shores Circle reporting two individuals attempting to steal merchandise. Responding promptly, officers located the suspects as they exited the store and proceeded to detain them.
The apprehended suspects were identified as 25-year-old Angelo Corona and 26-year-old Laesha Garcia, both residents of Stockton. Upon further investigation, the officers discovered the individuals in possession of over $2000 worth of stolen merchandise.
The gravity of the situation escalated when officers uncovered more during their examination. In addition to the stolen items, over 30 prescription pills, a Glock handgun, and a substantial amount of cash totaling over $4,000 were found in the possession of the suspects.
Angelo Corona and Laesha Garcia were subsequently arrested and later booked for a range of charges including grand theft, conspiracy, possession of a controlled substance, and felon in possession of a firearm.
