“Detectives learned of Guarisco’s involvement in several robberies that occurred in the South Bay and Los Angeles on March 21, 2010 due to an anonymous tip,” Gaglia said. “Hours prior to the arrest, HBPD Detective Jon Sibbald contacted a victim of a Hermosa Beach armed robbery. The victim positively identified Guarisco as the person who robbed her.”
Detectives also arrested a suspected accomplice, Anthony Lewis, also 19 of Wilmington, and recovered stolen property and a replica semi-automatic “Glock” style weapon, Gaglia said, adding that Lewis admitted the weapon was used during the robberies.
Police urged anyone with further information about the robberies or other related crimes to call Detective Jon Sibbald at 310-318-0341.
