LAKE ELSINORE, CA — Two men, from Corona and Wisconsin, were arrested this week after deputies investigated the reported grand theft of approximately $1,300 of shampoo and hair products from a CVS Pharmacy in Temescal Valley, according to authorities.

Lake Elsinore Sheriff's Station deputies were called July 15 to the Corona-area drugstore on the 11000 block of De Palma Road, after two males reportedly made off with the miscellaneous hair-care items, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.

After identifying suspects, Jose Pajareto, 43, of Corona, and Dennis Rogge, 32 from Wisconsin, deputies arrested the pair at their residence on the 900 block of Fullerton Avenue in Corona, where the stolen hair products were recovered, along with "large amounts of clothing with tags still attached" stolen from a nearby Kohl's, the agency said.

During the arrests, Pajareto was found in the home's backyard, while Rogge was located in an alleyway behind the house, officials said. They both were arrested for suspicion of grand theft and booked at a Riverside County jail, deputies said, adding that the recovered items were returned to their respective stores.
