Police on Thursday arrested a 42-year-old Costa Mesa man on

suspicion of raping a woman on the night of May 5, officials said.

said.

The victim is in her 40s and the incident reportedly happened at a

business in the 2000 block of Harbor Boulevard, Sgt. Bob Ciszek said.

Guadalupe-Zaragoza, who was an acquaintance of the victim, is being

held in Orange County jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Police seek two suspects in mugging

Costa Mesa police are looking for two suspects they say robbed a

man who was walking near Pomona Avenue and 19th Street at about 8:30

p.m. Thursday, officials said.

The victim was approached by two men in their 20s who appeared to

have a gun, Sgt. Bob Ciszek said.

“It was a simulated gun,” he said. “We don’t know if they actually

had a gun or not.”

The victim handed over his wallet, which contained about $150,

Ciszek said. No one was hurt in the incident, he said.
