Two jailed in San Dimas on suspicion of auto theft

SAN DIMAS -- Deputies arrested two Baldwin Park men Tuesday on suspicion of stealing two cars, including one that was taken earlier in the day from a parking lot at the Raging Waters water park, authorities said.
Carlos Flores, 25, and Sergio Lara, 21, were booked on suspicion of auto theft, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Craig Boyett said.
Someone flagged down a deputy in the Via Verde area of the city about 2 p.m. to report seeing two suspicious vehicles driving in the neighborhood, the lieutenant said.
A deputy found one of the cars, a Honda Del Sol, at Avenida Loma Vista and Paseo Gracia and pulled it over, Boyett said. It was found to have been reported stolen out of Montclair, and the driver, Flores, was arrested.
The deputy alerted fellow deputies of the description of a second car -- a pink Honda civic -- which appeared to have been driving with the Del Sol, Boyett said.
A deputy spotted the conspicuous Honda near Avenida Loma Vista and Paseo Anacapa, at which point Lara tried to elude him driving up onto the curb, Boyett said.
The Honda struck a parked recreational vehicle, he said, sheering off the windshield and roof of the car.
"That car had just been stolen from Raging Waters," Boyett said.
Lara was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries and arrested, officials said.
According to county booking records, Flores was being held in lieu of $26,865 bail, while Lara was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail. Both suspects were due to be arraigned Thursday in Pomona Superior Court.
