Two Arrested, Third Still Sought For Marijuana Cultivation Facility Robbery On South Coast

Detectives say two men arrested for robbing a marijuana cultivation facility on the South Coast this week were also responsible for a robbery at the same place in June.

Investigators say a group of robbers broke into the facility on the 1500 block of Casitas Pass Road in Carpinteria early Wednesday morning, and pepper sprayed an employee before fleeing in a rented van. They were stopped and arrested a short time later in Ventura.

Tyrone Taylor of Lancaster and Henry Jernigan of Los Angeles were taken into custody, and a third suspect is still outstanding.
