Los Angeles County sheriff’s detectives have arrested two people suspected in a series of home-invasion robberies targeting elderly Asian women in Hacienda Heights, Norwalk and Rowland Heights, authorities said.

Detectives armed with warrants arrested Ed Ross, 39, and Rosie Nichols, 34, at a hotel in the 5700 block of Telegraph Road about noon Saturday, said Deputy Anthony Moore, a spokesman for the Sheriff’s Department.

The pair are suspected of robberies that began in September, including some in which the victims were tied up while their homes were ransacked. Ross and Nichols were booked on suspicion of robbery, and were each being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
