On July 2, Palo Alto police received a call from a store employee about a shoplifting incident at Safeway at 2811 Middlefield Road, according to a Palo Alto press release. The employee reported that four men tried to steal items from the store.
The four suspects went into Safeway and started loading their backpacks with laundry detergent, the release said. When an employee told them to stop and leave one of the suspects threatened to kill the employee. They then threw cooked chicken off the shelves on the ground and left the store.
The employee had taken photos of the suspects while someone was calling the police.
When officers were responding to the scene they found a vehicle driving away from Safeway with no license plates. Police tried to stop the car but it turned on Oregon Expressway going westbound and the driver didn't stop until the 200 block of Page Mill Road where officers arrested 2 adults and two minors.
Police used the vehicle identification number to discover the vehicle had been carjacked in Concord earlier that day. Officers notified the Concord Police Department who came and took the two adult suspects into custody.
Palo Alto police arrested the 17-year-old and 15-year-old Pittsburg residents for robbery and conspiracy, the release said. They were both taken to Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall. The 15-year-old was also arrested for providing a false name to the police.
