The Riverside Police Department, in Riverside County, California, announced on October 30 that detectives have broken a series of armed robberies in the university area, arresting 18-year-old Riverside resident Shareef Pendergrass on October 26. He was booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center on six counts of armed robbery, with bail set at $280,000.
