Trio arrested in Best Buy robbery

Three men were arrested last week in connection with a robbery at the Best Buy in Indian Hills.

Douglas County deputies received word of the robbery around 3:45 p.m. Sept. 20, and that the men had made their escape north on Highway 395.

Around eight minutes later, the Nevada Highway Patrol stopped a white 2005 Pontiac G6 sedan in south Reno on Neil Road.

Reno residents Roderick Soriano, 36, and Fracisse Tiongco, 40, and

Nevadan Benjamin Calderon, 46, were arrested for possession of stolen property and conspiracy to commit burglary.

The wheelman, Soriano, was allegedly under the influence when he was pulled over.

Calderon was booked on two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to possess stolen property and failure to obey a court order.

Tiongco was booked on conspiracy to commit burglary and possession of stolen property.

Two laptops were recovered from the vehicle as was a black-handled revolver.

According to Washoe County jail records, Soriano is no longer in custody. Calderon and Tiongco are being held without bail.
