A man seen peeking into cars in
the 400 block of Mount Carmel Drive caught the suspicion of neighbors late
Tuesday afternoon, April 23.
Without breaking into any of the
cars, the man got into his own vehicle and drove away. Police stopped the car
off Base Line Road. The occupants claimed that they were lost and just driving
around. However, several car stereos with cut wires were found inside, and the
men could not explain their origin. Jimmy Troy, 46, and Andrew Briceno, 28,
both of Pomona, and Phillip Gonzales, 40, of Upland, were arrested for stolen
property.
Mr. Troy was additionally
arrested for driving with a suspended license and Mr. Briceno for initially
giving a false name to police. No victims have been located yet, but Claremont
Police are in contact with nearby police departments to match the car stereos,
according to Lt. Vander Veen.
