A little after midnight on Saturday, May 20, three men in their late teens to early 20s reportedly used a handgun to hold up a man and a woman in a parking lot in the Flood Triangle neighborhood of Menlo Park, said Sgt. Jim Simpson of the Menlo Park Police Department.
No one was injured and the robbers got away with $30 to $50, police said.
Officer Kevin Paugh spotted a car matching the description given by the victims about 25 minutes later in an East Palo Alto gas station and attempted to detain the occupants, police said.
The driver was arrested on robbery charges, but the others got away on foot, said Sgt. Simpson. Police would not release the name of the driver.
At the time of the robbery, the suspects were all wearing dark clothing. Anyone with information should call 330-6300.
