According to a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department release, on Wednesday, December 3, at about 8:15PM, an 18-year-old female was walking on Baseline near Cunningham Street when she saw three black male adults sitting in a blue Ford Taurus parked at the edge of the road. As she passed the vehicle, two suspects exited the vehicle, one grabbed her and the other stole her purse. The victim was uninjured and all three suspects fled the scene.
On Thursday, December 4, at 1:25AM, deputies from the Highland Station saw a vehicle matching the suspect vehicle description near Del Rosa Drive and Fisher Street. As deputies stopped the vehicle, the three occupants ran. Captured were Theophalis Cobbs and Joseph Jones, both 19, as the third suspect escaped. The vehicle was found to be an unreported stolen vehicle from Highland.
Jones was positively identified by the victim as the suspect who stole her purse and was arrested on suspicion of robbery, possession of stolen property and resisting arrest. Cobbs could not be identified and was arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property and resisting arrest. Both suspects were booked at Central Detention Center.
