Just after 6 p.m. on June 14, two men entered the Village Donut Shop in Moreno Valley and robbed an employee at gunpoint. The gunmen fled the store with cash and items from the victim, according to a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department report.

Responding officers scoured the area and were unable to locate the gun-toting suspects.

On June 20, officers acting on leads responded to a suspicious vehicle call in the 24000 block of Huntley Drive in Moreno Valley and detained 20-year-old Julio Limon, the report said.

After interviewing and obtaining evidence from Limon, officers determined Limon and his brother, 22-year-old Frankie Limon were both involved in the armed robbery, Sgt. Mendez stated in a report.

Julio Limon was immediately booked into jail.

Frankie Limon was found with a loaded firearm at 4:30 p.m. on June 28 in the area of Pride Lane in Moreno Valley, and arrested.

Both men were booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center on charges of armed robbery, conspiracy, gang enhancement and felon in possession of a firearm.
