4 Teens Accused Of Attempted Robbery At Danville CVS

DANVILLE, CA — Four teenagers are in custody in connection with a Friday afternoon robbery of a CVS pharmacy in Danville, police said Saturday.

Police received a call around 4:53 p.m. Friday from an employee at the CVS, on the 600 block of San Ramon Valley Boulevard, reporting the robbery.

According to the employee, two suspects came into the pharmacy, made it seem as though they had a gun, and demanded access to the narcotics safe. The suspects fled when employees told them they couldn't access the safe, the Danville Police Department said.

The Dublin Police Department, which had reported a similar incident two hours earlier, gave a description of the suspects' car, which was then spotted on northbound I-680 near Treat Boulevard by a Contra Costa County Sheriff's deputy.

The deputy stopped the car, and a CVS employee identified two of the suspects. Two more were identified from the case in Dublin, according to authorities.

The four teens have been booked into juvenile hall on suspicion of robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and looting: a unique charge for an attempted theft during a state of emergency.
