The pair fled from deputies and a containment was established, Sheriff’s officials said.
The juvenile suspect was located and taken into custody on Glasser Avenue, however, Garcia was able to escape the containment, according to Miller.
The outstanding suspect was located by detectives Thursday and was taken into custody, Miller said.
Garcia, 18, of Castaic, was arrested and charged with felony robbery, according to officials.
The name of Garcia’s accomplice is not being released due to the suspect being a minor, Miller said.
