A couple wanted in connection with last week’s gas station robbery in Santa Maria is behind bars. Investigators believe 24-year-old Brandy Baldivia and 30-year-old Emanuel Ochoa knocked over the gas station on the 1200 block of East Betteravia Road last Friday night. An investigation led authorities to a hotel room in Bakersfield where the couple was taken into custody. San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Office and the Pismo Beach Police Department are both investigating similar cases.
