A woman who tried to rob a La Jolla nail salon and succeeded in robbing another store hours earlier was sentenced March 4 to five years in state prison. Probation was rejected for Soyla Bernice Gobert, 30, of Chula Vista, by San Diego Superior Court Judge Theodore Weathers. Gobert walked into Dan’s Nails & Spa, located at 8008 Girard Ave., around 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 16 with an air rifle and ordered employees and customers to get down on the floor. She fled the store and was caught by four men who held her in the street until police arrived. Gobert took $250 in cash and new wallets and purses from a Coach Department store in Chula Vista hours earlier. She tied up workers with zip ties. Weathers said the Coach store’s loss is $24,143.50, and the stolen merchandise was never located. “These crimes were planned and sophisticated. It appears almost out of the movies,” said Weathers, noting that Gobert wore a blonde wig during both robberies, as well as a hoodie and baggy clothes. Her attorney, Ian Pancer, asked the judge to send her to a treatment program. He said she has served in Iraq with the Navy and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Pancer said she repeatedly told the Coach victims she was sorry for tying them up. “She didn’t intend to hurt anyone,” he said, adding it was “out of character.” Deputy District Attorney David Uyar said “you know you are doing something wrong” if you repeatedly apologize. Uyar said Gobert locked the door of the nail salon upon entering, unlike at the Coach store, where customers continued to come inside. Gobert has no prior record.
