SUISUN CITY, Calif. (KTVU) - Solano County Sheriff’s Office says they arrested three armed robbery suspects Wednesday night at Grizzly Island Road at McCoy Creek Way, in Suisun City.
During the stop, police found hockey masks, black gloves, beanies and a loaded handgun.
Police say the robbery happened Monday night at Dixon Gas & Shop on Schroeder Road. Two teenage suspects allegedly wore the hockey masks during the robbery where one suspect pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money. The suspects fled the store with money and other items from the store.
On the night of the traffic stop, deputies arrested a 16 and 17 year old in connection to the robbery. They also arrested 18-year-old Eduardo Flores-Alvarez of Fairfield for the same robbery as well as conspiracy, possession of a concealed and unregistered firearm, stolen property and for being involved in a gang. He was said to have had ammunition as well.
Flores-Alvarez is being held on $123,333 bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Solano County Superior court on Friday.
No further information on the other two suspects was available since they are underage.
