Summary:
On Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 7:58am, deputies responded to a 911 call at Shell Gas Station in Apple Valley.
The suspect, later identified as Jacob Naro, allegedly ran up behind a customer standing near her vehicle. Naro attempted to grab her cellphone from her right hand. The victim was able to hold on to her phone, but Naro grabbed her 2014 Mustang GT car keys from her and pushed her to the ground. Deputies were told Naro then ran to the victim’s vehicle and tried to start the engine. A gas station employee reached into the vehicle and attempted to remove Naro. Naro then allegedly pushed the gas station employee out of the vehicle onto the ground and drove away in the victim’s Mustang.
Deputies located the Mustang and a pursuit ensued. During the pursuit, Naro drove on the wrong side of the roadway, did not stop at controlled intersections, and drove with complete disregard for public safety. Naro stopped the vehicle at Del Taco on Highway 138 near Interstate 15 and was taken into custody without further incident.
Jacob Naro was booked into the High Desert Detention Center for robbery, carjacking, felony evading and evading by driving in opposite lanes of traffic. He is currently being held in lieu of $100,000.00 bail. Neither victim required medical treatment.
