Two Men Arrested In Oceanside Bagel Shop Robbery
Oceanside police arrested two men in connection with a robbery in a local bagel store, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. A 21-year-old man and a 19-year-old man were arrested after officers served search warrants at two homes following the robbery at Bruegger’s Bagels on Oceanside Boulevard. Police said the men entered the store through a back door, threatened one of the employees to lie face down on the floor at gun-point while telling another employee to open the safe.
The suspects reportedly got out through the back door with $1,000. Oceanside police detectives identified the suspects and conducted a search of their homes when they reportedly found weapons, disguises and illegal drugs. Both men, whose names have not been released, were arrested and booked into Vista jail on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy. The teenager, in addition, faces a narcotics charge.
Armed robbery is considered a violent crime in San Diego because it involves the use of a weapon and more importantly, the use of force. Violent crimes can result in very serious convictions and punishment and will benefit tremendously from an aggressive defense by an experienced San Diego criminal defense lawyer. The seriousness of a violent crime obviously depends on the severity of the injury or injuries to the alleged victims, but use of a weapon can result in enhancements to the charges, which will add to the severity of the punishment.
