What’d I See? Looting Charges Filed After Juveniles Arrested For Pharmacy Robberies

From Danville PD:

Four teenagers are in custody following a Friday afternoon robbery of a Danville CVS store.  Danville Police Chief Allan Shields said the incident occurred at approximately 4:53 p.m. when police received a call from an employee of the CVS in the 600 block of San Ramon Boulevard reporting a robbery.

The caller stated that two suspects entered the pharmacy, simulated a firearm, and demanded access to the narcotics safe. When employees stated they did not have access, the suspects fled. 
 
Dublin PD had reported a similar incident two hours earlier and provided a description of the car.  A deputy from the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff located the vehicle on northbound I-680 near Treat Boulevard and initiated a traffic stop.  Two of the suspects were identified by the victim of the Danville robbery and two were identified from the Dublin incident.  All four have been booked into juvenile hall on charges of robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and looting.  Looting is a unique charge that is applied when a person enters a building to commit any theft during state of emergency.
 
Chief Shields said he was pleased they were able to locate and detain the suspects quickly, and praised the efforts of his officers along with officers from Dublin Police Department and the deputies from the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff.
