Two Los Angeles men were arrested last week in connection with a dozen westside gas station armed robberies, including ones in Santa Monica.
Police have linked Oscar Adolfo Rosales, 19, and David Scott Henriques, 20, to the robberies through a vehicle that was used at one of the gas stations, said Santa Monica Police Department spokesman Lt. Frank Fabrega.
Rosales and Henriques are accused of 12 armed robberies at gas stations in Los Angeles, Culver City and Santa Monica.
The suspects had been under surveillance as part of a lengthy investigation involving all three police departments. Evidence recovered during the arrest linked the suspects directly to the Santa Monica robberies.
Rosales was booked for armed robbery and a military desertion warrant. He is being held in the Los Angeles County Jail without bail.
Henriques was booked for armed robbery and he is being held in the Los Angeles County Jail on $222,000 bail.
Criminal charges were filed in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
