A man and his father have been accused of robbing 18 Trader Joe’s stores
located in Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside
Counties between August and December of this year.
Gregory Johnson and his son, Gregory Eric Johnson, were arrested Dec. 4 after allegedly robbing a Chino Hills Trader Joe’s, according to a criminal complaint released Thursday.
According to the complaint, a witness who had been hired by the store spotted the elder Johnson leaving the location following reports of a robbery wearing clothing consistent with the description given by workers. The elder Johnson allegedly got into a vehicle being driven by his son.
When police stopped the vehicle, they found a loaded black semi-automatic handgun, a blue drawstring bag with more than $3,800 inside and a blue hooded sweatshirt that workers identified as belonging to the robbery suspect, according to the complaint.
The two are also suspected of robbing 17 other Trader Joe’s
locations, resulting in a loss of approximately $57,000.
