RED BLUFF — The Tehama County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man and woman Saturday morning for an alleged robbery.

TCSO said a resident around 11:40 a.m. contacted its office and claimed to have been robbed while parked in his vehicle in Rancho Tehama.

According to law enforcement, during the robbery, the man alleged that he was held at gunpoint and robbed of his belongings. The man’s cell phone was taken during the robbery, which law enforcement said he was able to track through his service provider. The cell phone reportedly pinged at an address on Long Horn Lane in Rancho Tehama. Deputies called the phone and heard it ringing in Robert Perozzi’s truck parked at the address.

Perozzi, 43, is on active parole for burglary. A search of the vehicle by law enforcement found additional items taken from the victim during the robbery, along with a replica firearm believed to have been used during the robbery.

Law enforcement said the man identified both Perrozi and Christina Wheeler, 47, as participants during the robbery.

They were arrested and booked into Tehama County Jail for robbery and conspiracy.
