Armed Robbery Arrest
Two armed robbery suspects were recently arrested
by the Mesa Police Department. The arrests of
26-year-old Jonathan Lunsford and 34-year-old Jenny
Schrock, both of Mesa comes after a local Diamond
Shamrock convenience store was robbed at gunpoint on
Friday November 23, 2007 at 7:54 a.m. In that case
it was determined that Lunsford entered the Diamond
Shamrock located at 5158 E. University in Mesa and
pointed a handgun at the clerk while demanding the
money from the cash register. Lunsford took an
undisclosed amount of currency from the cash
register and fled the store on foot. He was seen
running from the store towards a blue Hyundai
passenger car that had an Arizona license plate
number of 796YTC. Lunsford entered the passenger
side of the vehicle that was driven by Jenny Schrock
who later admitted knowledge of the robbery during a
post-Miranda interview. Lunsford and Schrock fled
the scene in the vehicle and were not immediately
located.

Criminal Investigations Unit were able to gather
intelligence that led them to the capture of
Lunsford and Schrock later that same afternoon. At
the time of the arrest items of evidence connecting
Lunsford to the Diamond Shamrock robbery were found
on his person. Lunsford also had possession of a
white powder like substance that later tested
positive for the presence of Cocaine. During a
post-Miranda interview Lunsford admitted to the
Diamond Shamrock robbery, as well as three other
armed robberies in Mesa during the month of November
2007. Investigators followed up on the other
robberies and established probable cause to charge
