Police search a vehicle and home on the 500 block of Green Valley Road Wednesday.
A Watsonville man was arrested near the home on suspicion of robbing the Rite Aid store on Freedom Boulevard just 24 hours earlier. Watsonville spokeswoman Michelle Pulido said police were able to piece together a description of the fleeing vehicle after the 10:20am robbery. Police say Raymon Quiñonez, wearing a mask, brandished a handgun at a clerk at Rite Aid and ran off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Pulido said Watsonville police, in tandem with members of the Santa Cruz Auto-theft Reduction and Enforcement task force, served a warrant on the 500 block of Green Valley Road around 10:30am Wednesday. There, they arrested Quiñonez and seized evidence. WPD Master Officer Charles Bailey said that a similar armed robbery happened at the same Rite Aid on Nov. 17.
