On Tuesday, February 16, 2021, deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga Station were dispatched to the area of Saffron Court and Plum Way. Witnesses reported seeing occupants in a red sedan attempting to steal mail. A second call from dispatch was aired a short time later with similar information.
As deputies conducted an area check, they observed a red Honda Civic near the intersection of Day Creek Boulevard and Victoria Lane matching the description of the suspect vehicle. Deputies conducted a traffic stop and ordered three occupants out of the vehicle. The three suspects were identified as Yuvania Palafox, Daniel Araujo and Jonathan Ruachoescobar.
During a vehicle search, deputies found a methamphetamine pipe and two backpacks containing numerous checks, ID’s, credit cards and stolen mail belonging to numerous victims. Palafox, Araujo and Ruachoescobar were arrested and booked in at the West Valley Detention Center.
A records check of Palafox revealed she is currently on Post Release Community Supervision and is being held without bail. Araujo remains in custody on $50,000 bail and Ruachoescobar is being held on $50,000 bail with additional warrants out of Los Angeles, totaling $400,000.
