Encinitas, Vista Men Arrested on Suspicion of Carlsbad Robbery

Carlsbad, CA — Two men were behind bars Tuesday for allegedly conspiring to carry out an armed robbery June 20 at a Carlsbad apartment, police said.

Jonathan Paul Anderson, 27, of Encinitas, and Cesar Gabriel Haman, 25, of Vista, were taken into custody Sunday on suspicion of robbery, stalking, conspiracy and burglary in connection with the crime that allegedly occurred at an apartment complex in the 2600 block of Jefferson Street, according to a statement from the Carlsbad Police Department.

The night of the alleged robbery, the victim reported being awakened by a man who had removed a window screen and climbed through the living room window. He told police that when he confronted the intruder, the suspect threatened him with a handgun, demanding cash and cellphones.

Police said the victim gave the robber $25 and then the robber left through the front door of the apartment.

"Investigators followed evidence located at the crime scene that lead to the duo's arrest," Carlsbad police Sgt. Darbie Ernst said. "Investigators also found that Haman had arranged for the robbery and was acquainted with one of the victims in the house at the time of the robbery."

Haman, whom police say was also arrested on suspicion of assault with a firearm, was booked into San Diego Central jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. He was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.

Anderson was being held at the Vista Detention Facility with bail set at $100,000 and was also scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.

"We would like to thank the San Diego Police Department for their assistance in arresting Haman," Ernst said.
