Two arrested in Tulare Co. pot robbery and shooting

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Two men are in jail Wednesday for a robbery at a south valley marijuana garden that ended in a teen's death. Deputies are still looking for a third suspect.

The Tulare County Sheriff's Department says four armed men stole pot last week from a garden on Road 244 near Lindsay.

While they were trying to get away, a 17-year-old suspect got into a confrontation with a neighbor and was shot. He died Tuesday.

Tuesday, officers arrested 21-year-old Gustavo Gonzalez and Jorge Mendoza for robbery and kidnapping. The final suspect, Carlos Hernandez, is still on the loose.

Anyone with information asked to call the Tulare County Sheriff's Department.
