All six suspects were booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga but released on $0 bail, following the state’s order to release most criminals facing misdemeanor or felony charges because of the state’s Emergency Bail Schedule stemming from the coronavirus outbreak.
Upland residents Andrew Johnson, 26 and Daniel Verre, 35, were arrested with Israel Angulo, 27, of Montclair; Loraina Ambriz, 27, of Highland; Barbara Contreras, 36, of Covina; and Anthony Luera, 36, of Adelanto, after deputies went at 7:58 AM to Lowe’s at 13251 Peyton Drive, said Detective Robert Scribner.
