San Diego Men Arrested for Fast Food Restaurant Robbery
Two San Diego men were arrested in connection to the La Mesa Carl’s Jr. robbery.
The robbery occurred at the Carl’s Jr. in La Mesa on the 8000 block of Parkway Drive jus off of Fletcher Parkway. Two men entered the fast food restaurant, occupied by one customer and several employees around 9 p.m. The armed men commanded the employees to lie on the ground and ordered the cooks to crawl to the front. The robbers stole both a safe and $900 cash then fled the scene. Although the faces of the robbers were partly covered, the employees were able to give a somewhat detailed description of the men to the police.
Not long after the robbery, an officer who was supervising an intersection near the Carl’s Jr. spotted a car occupying two men that matched the description of the robbers. The officer proceeded to pursue the car until it finally pulled over on Adobe Falls Road and Waring Road in Mission Valley. The occupants of the car were identified as 31 year-old Antonio Arnold and 30 year-old Mario Deangelo.
The two were arrested on spot without incident. Authorities searched the home of one of the suspects and were able to recover some of the stolen cash and located one of the weapons used. Police are investigating to see if they are in connection to any of the past 10 business robberies that have occurred in La Mesa in the past month however they do not think it is likely that either one of them are responsible for any of the previous robberies.
