A former Costa Mesa Rite Aid supervisor was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison Wednesday for her part in setting up two armed robberies.
Cynthia Ongamsing-Jenkins, 43, of Tustin, pleaded guilty Feb. 24 to two counts of grand theft for telling police that she was the victim in two armed robberies, including a Rite Aid at 2300 Harbor Blvd. in 2007.
In the Costa Mesa incident, Ongamsing-Jenkins told police that armed gunmen ordered her and another employee to empty the register and store safe. While the other employee was locked in the store cooler, the two men stole $5,500.
