Two people have been arrested and two are being sought for the brazen armed robberies of two major big box stores in Ventura County.
Oxnard Police say on January 4th, four people tried to leave the Home Depot on West Esplanade Drive with a number of power tools. When employees confronted the group, a man threatened the workers with a handgun. The four people then fled in a car.
Detectives say on January 7, there was a similar robbery at a WalMart on the 2700 block of Saviers Road. As four people left the store with stolen items, they used a gun to threaten an employee who tried to stop them.
Investigators say they identified two of the suspects. They arrested Erasmo Corral and Wendy Gutierrez of Oxnard on robbery, and conspiracy charges. The other two people are still being sought.
