Three arrested in MH Togo’s robbery
Morgan Hill – Three San Jose teens were arrested after they held employees of a local sandwich shop at gunpoint, forcing them to lie on the floor of the eatery, before fleeing, police said.
Daniel Brasuell, 18, Fabian Aguirre, 18, and a 17-year-old male were taken into custody when police used a high risk vehicle maneuver at the Tennant Avenue overpass at Highway 101.
They were arrested on suspicion of armed robbery, false imprisonment, grand theft and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Dispatchers received a call at 9:59pm Tuesday that the Togo’s Sandwich shop in the Vineyard Town Center had just been robbed, Morgan Hill Police Cmdr. Joe Sampson said.
Employees told police that two Hispanic males wearing bandanas around their faces had entered the restaurant as they were closing, drawn a weapon and forced them to the rear of the building and told to lie on the floor. One of the suspects then jumped over the counter held a gun to one employee’s head and told him to open the register. The second suspect, they said, forced the other employee to open the safe, asking if he wanted to die. A third employee was told to kneel on the floor.
Once the safe and several cash registers were emptied, the suspects fled with the cash in a vehicle driven by a third Hispanic male.
