The Riverside County Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force (RCAHT) in partnership with the La Quinta Special Enforcement Team, Palm Desert Special Enforcement Team, Lake Elsinore Special Enforcement Team, Temecula Special Enforcement Team, Riverside Police Department and Murrieta Police Department effected sixty-four arrests during a nearly week-long proactive enforcement operation that targeted online prostitution and those whose demand for these unlawful activities fuels an illicit underground economy, both locally as well as across the State of California.

Last week, the Biden administration announced plans to purchase another 200 million vaccine doses, 100 million each from Pfizer and Moderna. That brings the nation’s total order to 600 doses — enough for 300 million people — of the authorized, mRNA-based vaccines.

Nearly 77 percent of doses received to Riverside County have been administered to county residents, continuing an upward trend that started weeks ago.

Further investigation revealed the suspects to be 25-year-old San Jacinto resident Joshua Rivera and 24-year-old San Jacinto resident Jose Monrial.

Upon further investigation a second subject involved in the robbery was identified as a 16 year-old male resident of Lake Elsinore. He was arrested and booked at Juvenile Hall without incident. This investigation is on-going, additional suspect are still outstanding. Anyone with information is encouraged to call Investigator Trudeau at the Special Investigations Bureau 951-955-2777.
