Police arrested three suspects they said were involved in a robbery at the Bank of America.
Kristopher Sosa, 29, and Cecilia Rodriguez, 28, of Hollister and Marina Martinez, 24, of Morgan Hill were arrested about 9:30 p.m. Friday after police responded to a reported armed robbery that took place at the bank’s ATM after the bank was closed. Using the victims’ description of the suspects’ vehicle, a white GMC Envoy traveling southbound on Monterey Road, police located the vehicle and arrested the suspects, police said.
A preliminary investigation revealed that, armed with a handgun, Sosa stole an undisclosed amount of cash and jewelry from several victims, patrons of Bank of America, located at 7825 Monterey Road. The two female suspects were in the vehicle with Sosa, and drove him to and from the scene of the crime. Their involvement in the robbery is currently under investigation, police said.
Police recovered the handgun and stolen property upon arresting the suspects. Witnesses reported that Sosa yelled gang-related words during the robbery, police said.
The three suspects were booked on suspicion armed robbery and the possession of a loaded firearm, police said. Police believe the crime to be gang-related and the Anti-Crime Team is investigating.
