According to police, on Monday, September 22 at 1:50 pm, San Ramon Police responded to Heller Jewelers, located at 6000 Bollinger Canyon Road, for a take-over style armed robbery. Approximately 20 masked individuals entered the store and began smashing display cases, taking numerous items. Several suspects were armed with handguns, and at least one suspect fired rounds through the front entrance.
Fortunately, no one was injured, and there is no ongoing danger to the public, said San Ramon Police.
The suspects fled the scene in waiting cars they had staged in the City Center valet parking area. San Ramon Police officers pursued some of the involved vehicles but terminated due to the inherent danger to the public because air support was overhead and available to continue tracking the suspect vehicle. Law enforcement air support tracked the suspects through Contra Costa and into Alameda County.
Police said several suspects have been detained at two locations in Oakland and a second location in Dublin.
Police said they will continue their investigation into this incident and ask anyone who may have witnessed the robbery to contact Detective Corporal Kevin Tjahjadi at (925) 733-7316.
Note – as many as 5 vehicles could have been involved in the incident according to preliminary information.
