On July 5, 2018, at approximately 3:33 p.m., Milpitas Police officers responded to the Great Mall of the Bay Area on a report of two purse robberies that had just occurred in the parking lot. One of the victims was able to provide a description of the vehicle and described it as a red 2016 Subaru Outback SUV. A records check on the Subaru revealed it had been reported as a stolen vehicle out of the City of Oakland. A Milpitas Police officer located the Subaru in Milpitas traveling northbound on Interstate 880 and attempted to stop it, but the driver fled at a high rate of speed and a short pursuit ensued. Milpitas Police officers located the Subaru abandoned on Summerwind Way in Milpitas, and the suspects were seen walking away from the area. All of the suspects were taken into custody without incident. Some of the victim’s property was recovered at the scene and the case is still ongoing.
All five suspects were booked into the Santa Clara County Juvenile Detention Facility for robbery and felony evading police officers.
