Two former employees of a Yucca Valley hardware store are the suspects in a robbery by force.
On Wednesday (December 18) at around 8:30 p.m., the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department says that two masked suspects entered the Tractor Supply in Yucca Valley prior to closing. Deputies say the suspects approached the counter to purchase a small item and when the cash register was opened, they forcefully stole the cash register from the clerk and fled the location.
Deputies say that they determined that the suspects were formerly employed at the store, identifying them as Indica Carey, 26, and Clara Power, 34, both residents of Yucca Valley. Deputies followed shoe impressions for two miles and located cash, clothing, and the damaged cash register. The suspects were found by deputies in the 5000 block of Yucca Mesa, and the suspects barricaded themselves inside of a home. Deputies acquired a search warrant and were able to take both suspects into custody.
Indica Carey was arrested on suspicion of robbery and violating her parole, and is being held at the West Valley Detention Center without bail. Clara Power was arrested on suspicion of robbery and several warrants in Los Angeles County and is being held at the West Valley Detention Center on $200,000 bail.
