Man and woman arrested in Glendora while driving in stolen car

GLENDORA — Police jailed a man and woman Friday after they were spotted driving a stolen car, authorities said.
Falecia Pinces, 33, of Pomona, who was driving the car, and Shannon Mendoza, 45, of Glendora, who was a passenger, were both booked on suspicion of possession of stolen property, Glendora police Lt. Rob Lamborghini said.
Pinces, who was already on parole, was also booked on suspicion of possessing metal knuckles, possessing methamphetamine and an outstanding grand theft auto warrant, police said.
A parking enforcement officer was checking on cars parked in the 100 block of North Wildwood Avenue when he noticed a parked car that had been reported stolen from Fullerton, Lamborghini said.
Patrol officers secretly watched the car until two people, later identified as Pinces and Mendoza, got in and drove off, the lieutenant said.
Police stopped the car as it looped back around to the same neighborhood where it was first spotted and arrested the suspects without a struggle, Lamborghini said.
