On February 21, 2010, at approximately 9:20 P.M., Officers of the Corona Police Department responded to Sam?s Club located at 1375 E. Ontario Ave, reference the carjacking of a delivery truck that just occurred. The investigation revealed that a delivery truck was making a delivery to Sam?s Club of various merchandise including approximately 6,200 cartons of cigarettes with a total value over $300,000.00. When the delivery truck arrived and parked at the loading docks at Sam?s Club, the driver was approached by two masked gunmen. The gunmen ordered the driver into a tan SUV, while a third suspect appeared and got into the delivery truck and drove away. The delivery truck driver was then driven around in the SUV on side streets for approximately 10-15 minutes at which time he was released uninjured a few miles from the store. The stolen truck, minus the cargo trailer, was located shortly after the call on Cajalco Road on the I-15 Fwy overpass unoccupied. The three suspects are described as black male adult?s unknown age, wearing all dark clothing and ski mask and carrying semi-auto pistols. The delivery truck?s cargo trailer is described as a 48? unmarked cargo trailer with numbers 481188 written at the front and rear and has an Indiana State License plate of P103312. The investigation is ongoing. The Corona Police Department is asking anyone with information about this incident to please call the Corona Police Department Dispatch at 951-736-2334.
