Paso Robles police arrest suspects in Tuesday armed robbery
Update 10:15 a.m.
The Paso Robles Police Department arrested two suspects shortly before midnight in the armed robbery of DK’s Donuts on Spring Street hours earlier.
Two Paso Robles residents, Ian Mike Robbins, 42, and Victoria Renee Trujillo, 46, were taken into custody at a home on Chardonnay Place, according to a department news release.
Police say the pair are suspected in at least two robberies: DK’s Donuts and a Nov. 16 robbery at La Miramar Musica Y Mas clothing store.
The department said that detectives had been pursuing leads from the La Miramar robbery and used those leads to positively identify Robbins as responsible for the DK’s Donuts robbery. In both cases it appears Trujillo was Robbins’ accomplice and acted as a getaway driver, the news release states.
No one was hurt in either robbery.
San Luis Obispo County Jail logs did not yet list the two as in custody Wednesday morning.
