The suspects were captured after they had to flee on foot because they could not start the woman’s vehicle, Palo Alto police said.
PALO ALTO — Four Oakland boys, one 14 years old and the others 16, were arrested Monday evening in a robbery and attempted carjacking of a woman at the Stanford Shopping Center, police said Tuesday.
Police said the woman, who is in her 50s, was sitting in her parked vehicle — police have not said what make it is — about 6 p.m. Monday at the shopping center. The woman gave the suspects the items and was able to run away, seeing the four suspects get inside the vehicle as she was fleeing, police said. She was not injured.
They were spotted moments later by a police sergeant at the downtown train station and were arrested. Police said they recovered the woman’s property from one of the suspects.
