FYI: Police Investigating Two Armed Robberies Committed Tonight in Palo Alto Neighborhoods
We are investigating two armed robberies that occurred within 25 minutes of one another in the south end of Palo Alto starting at 6:35 p.m. Fortunately, there were no physical injuries to victims, and the suspects fled in a white SUV, possibly a Kia.
The first occurred in the 1100blk of Trinity Lane and began when a neighbor may have interrupted an auto burglary. One suspect pointed a handgun as they fled. The second crime was in the 800blk of Marshall Drive, where the suspects robbed a woman at gunpoint and took her phone.
Preliminary info suggests the same suspects committed both crimes. The suspects are both Black males in their twenties, at least one armed with a handgun. A third suspect, also a Black male, was driving the vehicle.
We’ll have a news release out later tonight once we’ve had a chance to complete the preliminary investigations.
