Two teenagers were arrested after an armed robbery and police pursuit in Garden Grove

Martin Eusebio and Vivian Martinez, both 18 years old, were arrested after an alleged robbery and high-speed pursuit in Garden Grove on Friday night.

Garden Grove police officers received calls of an armed robbery near the area of Brookhurst Street and Westminster Avenue around 6:40 p.m.

A female victim told the police officers that the armed suspects approached her and a friend as they were sitting in a parking lot and eating.

Eusebio and Martinez allegedly threatened to shoot the victim before they drove off with around $200 in stolen cash. The vehicle they fled in was later spotted by police officers.

Of course Eusebio and Martinez refused to pull over which lead to a police pursuit. The suspects drove at very high speeds during the purstui, eventually losing control near Harbor Boulevard and Westminster Avenue. At that point they crashed into a flower shop at the corner.

The suspects are old enough to be charged as adults. Their lives are now effectively ruined – for a paltry $200.

  • Show their booking photos. I want to see what scumbags like this look like. And post them all over town. Someday the bulls will have to turn them loose on the street again, so the public should be warned in advance.
