RIALTO – The buyers who showed up at a Rialto address Monday to purchase an iPhone advertised on Craigslist weren’t actually interested in a cell phone. They were Rialto police officers out to catch the sellers, suspected in the robberies of several people at gunpoint in the city by posting fake ads on the classified ad website.
“There are five or six (victims) that we know of,” said Rialto police Capt. Randy DeAnda. “We believe there’s still a few victims out there that we’re trying to identify.” Denzel Adedotin Rogers, 19, and a 17-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of robbery. Police said both suspects are parolees who had previously been convicted of robbery.
They advertised iPhones on Craigslist and communicated with would-be buyers via text messaging. The suspects arranged to meet their victims in person, but instead of selling a phone, they confronted the victims with guns and stole their money and other property, police said.
Investigators eventually identified the suspects as Rogers and the teen. They also found an advertisement allegedly posted by the pair on Craigslist. Police posed as potential customers and began text-messaging the suspects. They agreed to meet Monday in the 2700 block of West Fairview Drive, the same location where the robberies occurred. Police held a stakeout at the location.
Officers confronted Rogers when he arrived. He fled to his nearby residence. Roger initially refused to surrender to police, but eventually came outside and was arrested. Police arrested the teen at the same home. Investigators suspect there are more victims who have not reported being robbed by the pair. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Greg Marquez at 909-421-4995 or 909-820-2550.

First of all we loved the shout out ED SCOTT gave us from the Dias and validated our reporting on this issue of the money from the water deal.

We commented on a Press Enterprise Story where they reported a portion of the money from the water deal would go to SBIA (San Bernardino International Airport). We were never outright told that this money was going to another city government that has horrid money management, especially to the tune of $12.3 million.

Mr. Ed Scott since you read or someone reads the blog to you please explain to us how the development monies from the sale and rape or Utility Rate Payers in the City is going to go for any other project in the city besides the “Target” project. We ask you to clarify this because:

  • After Robb Steels presentation we have spent the entire $30 Million on this one project.
  • There is still so much profit sharing that after its all said and done were still in the hole $4 Million.
  • The Airport project is expected to take 11-15 years.
  • We have capital improvements for YOUR Super Wal-Mart project.

Since our current council cannot bring real infrastructure to the city with massive amounts of money is this it?

Mr. Scott you want to be our mayor so if you please send us a email or comment on this post we promise to post all material you return on this issue without edit.

Below is pictures we took of the slides presented by Mr. Steel.
