The incident happened early Thursday morning at a store in Stevenson Ranch, Lt. Brenda Cambra of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station told The Signal Friday.
Christopher Welch, a 22-yeaer-old cook who lives in Carson, and Ranisha Sharu Chapple, 29, of Lynwood whose occupation was listed as “in homecare” on arrest papers, were arrested on suspicion of robbery.
