Robbery Arrests in Ramona 

August 29, 2024 – San Diego County Sheriff's Office officials report that a man and a juvenile have been arrested in connection with a robbery in Ramona.

On August 10, just before 3:30 a.m., deputies from the Ramona Sheriff's Substation responded to a robbery call at the Stars gas station located in the 1900 block of Main Street. Their investigation revealed several suspects assaulted an employee and stole items from the business.

On Wednesday, August 28, around 5:00 a.m., deputies served a search warrant related to the robbery investigation at a home in the 1700 block of San Vicente Road. Jahziel Hayes (18) and a 16-year-old male juvenile were identified as suspects in the robbery. Both were arrested without incident.

Deputies located items connected to the robbery while searching the home. They also found two privately manufactured firearms, commonly referred to as ghost guns.

Unlike weapons made by a licensed manufacturer, ghost guns do not have a serial number or other identifiable markings. The lack of a serial number makes it extremely challenging for law enforcement agencies to track these firearms to their owner or maker, hindering or delaying investigations and crime-solving efforts.

Hayes was arrested for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an illegal firearm. He was booked into the San Diego Central Jail.

The juvenile was arrested for robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an illegal firearm. He was booked into Juvenile Hall. It is the policy of the San Diego County Sheriff's Office not to release identifying information about minor suspects.
