3 arrested for armed robberies targeting Southern California stores

Three suspects were arrested in connection with a series of armed robberies targeting stores across Southern California.

The trio are accused of committing at least 10 robberies across Los Angeles and Orange counties, according to the Burbank Police Department.

The suspects were identified as:

  • Ronnie Tucker, 22, from Long Beach
  • Antonio Bland, 34, from Lancaster
  • Abigail Luckey, 48, from Los Angeles

On Feb. 2, a male suspect armed with a handgun entered a 7-Eleven store located at 3523 W. Burbank Boulevard. While pointing the firearm, he forced the store clerk to empty the cash register, police said. The suspect also stole the clerk’s wallet before fleeing the scene.

On Feb. 8, two suspects entered a 7-Eleven located at 2000 N. Hollywood Way. Armed with a handgun, the suspects forced the clerk to open both cash registers and to also hand over his wallet. They emptied the registers before running out of the store, police said.

Investigators were able to identify the getaway car used in the robberies and with the help of a police helicopter, located the vehicle on Feb. 13.

While conducting surveillance on the car, the suspects drove to the Downey area where they attempted to rob a doughnut shop before fleeing the scene. The vehicle was followed by police and eventually pulled over in West L.A.

During the arrest, all three suspects were “wearing the same distinct clothing and were in possession of the same handgun used in the prior robberies,” authorities said. Police later discovered the trio was likely responsible for at least eight other armed robberies across L.A. and O.C.

Bland and Tucker were arrested on five counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery. Luckey was arrested on one count of attempted robbery.

“The Burbank Police Department is grateful for the collaborative effort with multiple law enforcement agencies, to include LAPD, Glendale PD, Tustin PD, Torrance PD, and Downey PD who assisted with this investigation,” authorities said. “Many hours of follow-up investigation and surveillance resulted in the safe apprehension of the suspects.”
