ROBBERY STAGED: CERES - Three women were arrested for robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime in connection with a Friday evening robbery staged in the Save Mart Shopping Center parking lot at Whitmore Avenue and Mitchell Road.
Two males are still being sought in connection with the crime, said Deputy Chief of Police Mike Borges.
Two of the victims apparently knew one of the five suspects. Borges said a suspect inticed the victims to the parking lot through a cell phone text, claiming that she was intoxicated and needed a ride. When the victims arrived at the scene they were confronted by two Hispanic males, both armed with handguns, said Borges. They demanded money. A 25-year-old male victim handed over cash and cigarettes. The suspects also demanded the keys to the car the victims arrived in, saying they would be killed if they followed.
The victims reported the crime to 911 at 11:15 p.m. and gave a description of the car and the license plate number. Within moments Sgt. Deidre Borges located the vehicle on the 99 and Hatch Road offramp. She made a traffic stop and arrested two inside the car.
Officer Brian Perreira located three other suspects at the Hatch Road McDonalds.
Amanda Iniguez, 18, of Ceres, and Marianne Magana, 21, of Modesto, were both arrested on charges of robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime. Amber Inderbitzin, 25, of Modesto, was booked for robbery, conspiracy to commit a crime and for having a felony warrant for petty theft with prior convictions. The victims were only able to identify three of the five apprehended by police.
