Three suspected armed robbers are in police custody this afternoon after reportedly holding up a jewelry store inside the Hilltop Mall in Richmond.
According to Richmond police Lt. Enos Johnson, officers received word around 11:54 a.m. of a group of armed individuals that had entered the Exotic Custom Jewelry store located at 2136 Hilltop Mall Road, took 20 to 30 watches and fled in a silver four-door, American-made vehicle toward westbound state Highway 80.
Johnson said a Richmond police agent spotted the suspect vehicle just before noon in the 900 block of Humboldt Street, at which point the suspects stopped the vehicle, exited and ran.
Two suspects were arrested right away, Johnson reported. A third suspect was found during a K-9 search of the area. San Pablo police helped Richmond police with the search.
Johnson said a fourth individual must have gotten out of the vehicle before the Richmond police agent saw it on Humboldt Street because all three of the individuals that were seen fleeing the car have been arrested on suspicion of armed robbery.
Johnson reported the suspects abandoned some of their clothing and some of the property that they had stolen during the chase and search.
