On January 26, 2011, at about 6:30 p.m., there were three armed robberies in Fillmore committed by two suspects within an hour. The investigation led to the arrest of 18 year old Marco Antonio Nunez Anguiano. The second suspect is still being sought.

The first robbery occurred at about 6:20 p.m. when the two suspects armed with a handgun approached a male juvenile victim as he walked in the 600 block of Shiells Drive. One suspect pointed the handgun at the victim and demanded his property. When the suspects found the victim did not have anything of value, they released him. Moments later, another male juvenile victim reported the second robbery to 9-1-1 dispatchers.

The second victim reported he was walking in the 400 block of Central Avenue when the two male suspects approached him. One suspect produced a handgun and pointed it at him. The suspects then demanded his property. The suspects released the victim unharmed. The third robbery occurred at about 7:15 P.M. Three male juvenile victims reported they were walking in the 400 block of C Street when they were approached by same two suspects. One suspect pointed a handgun at one of the victims and demanded their property. They were released unharmed.

About three hours after the first robbery, Sheriff’s Gang Investigators located one of the suspects in a car located in the city of Santa Paula. Suspect, Marco Antonio Anguiano-Nunez of Santa Paula, was stopped and arrested without incident. He was booked at the Sheriff’s Main Jail for armed robbery with bail set at $50,000.00.
