The Hercules Police Department announced the arrest of two people who were suspected in an armed robbery.
According to police, on January 22 at approximately 2:20 P.M. an officer observed a 2006 gray/red Dodge Charger which the officer recognized as the suspect vehicle from an armed robbery that has just occurred in a nearby city. Officers initiated a high risk stop on Appian Way and Mann Dr.
The driver and the passenger were detained and it was later determined that the driver was on probation for being a felon in possession of a firearm. A probation search of the vehicle was conducted and two firearms were located in the back seat behind the driver’s seat.
The first firearm was a black Ruger pistol and the second a Ghost-Switch-GNU revolver with no serial number. The Ruger pistol was later determined to be stolen out of Utah. A further search of the vehicle revealed two baggies off of suspected crack and a crack pipe.
The driver out of Bay Point and the passenger out of San Pablo were both arrested and later booked into jail.
