Deputies from the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station assigned to patrol the Eastvale area were dispatched to the scene around 3:15 a.m. after receiving reports of an in-progress vehicle burglary, Riverside Sheriff’s Sergeant Art Mendez has since reported.
Responding deputies learned a homeowner was chasing two ski mask-wearing suspects and soon located and detained the alleged suspects.

The pair was later identified as Randal Amari, 18, of Los Angeles, and a 17-year-old, Moreno Valley juvenile.
During their subsequent investigation, deputies found the two males were in possession of three backpacks, as well as several watches, cell phones, and a replica firearm, according to Mendez; who said both suspects were charged for conspiracy to commit a crime and petty theft.
Amari was later booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside and the juvenile was released to his parents, pending criminal charges.
Mendez said the owners of the stolen property have not yet been located or identified and have asked that anyone whose vehicles were burglarized during the overnight hours of the 28th to contact them.
