In the NEWS: IMPORTANT for ALL TO READ

SB COUNTY
Parolee suspected in string of robberies

A San Bernardino man on parole for robbery has been arrested on suspicion of robbing several businesses in the last four weeks.

Harold K. Nickleberry III, 24, was taken into custody at his home after sheriff's officials identified him from surveillance video, according to a sheriff's news release.

Few details were released but officials said similarities in robberies in Grand Terrace, Loma Linda and Yucaipa led them to conclude some of the robberies were likely committed by the same person, officials said.

Nickleberry was being held late Thursday in lieu of $50,000 bail at Central Detention Center in San Bernardino. Detectives ask anyone with additional crime information to contact Sgt. Edward Finneran or Detective Larry Loera at (909) 387-3518.

GRAND TERRACE
Mobile home destroyed by fire

A fire Tuesday afternoon destroyed a double-wide mobile home, county fire officials said.

Crews were called to the Grand Royal Mobile Home Park in the 22100 block of Newport Avenue at 1:16 p.m. They found the home completely engulfed, officials said.

About 20 fire personnel quickly put out the flames, but the mobile home was a total loss. No one was home at the time, and the cause of the fire was under investigation.
