Vista, CA–An adult and three juveniles were arrested on suspicion of robbing four juveniles skateboarding in Vista on Friday, authorities said.
At about 6:15 p.m., four males in a white Nissan Sentra stopped next to the juveniles skateboarding in the 100 block of Wave Drive. The driver of the Nissan exited, pulled out a pistol, and pressed it into one of the juvenile’s back as he demanded his cell phone and cash.
The other three suspects exited the vehicle and assisted in stealing the other juveniles’ cell phones and cash as the driver continued to point the gun. The suspects then fled the scene in the Nissan.
Deputies located the Nissan as it fled and conducted a high-risk vehicle stop. All of the occupants were detained without incident. The driver was identified as Anthony Aguilar. The other three passengers were male juveniles. The victims positively identified all four suspects.
Deputies located the loaded firearm in the center console of the Nissan. The firearm had previously been reported stolen out of San Diego. Deputies also located the items stolen during the robbery which were returned to the victims.
All four suspects were placed under arrest for robbery and weapons-related charges. Aguilar was booked into the Vista Detention Facility and the three juveniles were booked into juvenile hall.
