An Oakland man has been arrested following a brazen robbery at a San Mateo County golf course.
Fajon Green, 22, was arrested on Thursday and charged with armed robbery, being a felon in possession of a firearm and committing a crime while being on bail, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department said in a press release.
On Nov. 4 at around 10:28 a.m., a victim was robbed at gunpoint of his Rolex watch and wallet at Crystal Springs Golf Course near Interstate 280.
The gun used during the robbery was a Glock semiautomatic pistol with a high capacity magazine. After stealing the victim's items, two men fled the scene in a silver Infiniti Sedan, investigators reported.
One hour later, the two suspects, identified as Green and a co-conspirator, allegedly committed a second robbery in San Ramon.
Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies located the suspects at a Stoneridge Mall parking lot, but when they tried to approach the vehicle, the men fled into Macy’s. Green was caught, but his co-conspirator evaded arrest, police said.
Officials later found that the two suspects had also committed an armed robbery in San Mateo on Nov. 3 using the same firearm.
This is an open investigation.
