The officers arrived on the scene and discovered that the reporting party witnessed an armed robbery. Officers located the victims and turned the investigation over to detectives. Detectives identified a pair of suspects: Jeremy Mendez (19) and Eduardo Perez (19). 

Detectives began their search for Mendez and Perez and provided the information to nearby law enforcement agencies. On the same day at 7:35 p.m., Kings County deputies, with help from the Hanford Police Department, located the suspects, Mendez and Perez, and detained them during a traffic stop in the area of W.
