Police are looking for a white van whose driver chased a 13-year-old girl through a west Morgan Hill neighborhood Friday morning.

Four suspects drove south on the U.S. 101 early Tuesday morning, robbing convenience stores at gunpoint from Morgan Hill to King City, where they were finally arrested with cash and a handgun, police said.
