Shots Fired During Armed Robbery In Danville, Suspects At-Large

DANVILLE, CA — Danville witnessed another armed robbery in broad daylight Saturday afternoon at the Livery Shopping Center, Danville police reported.

On Saturday at about 2:44 p.m., three armed suspects reportedly robbed a man walking toward his car at gunpoint. As two of the suspects were taking the man’s watch, a witness tried to intervene. At that point, one of the suspects struck the witness with a pistol. The suspects then fled the scene.

Police did not say whether the gunfire hit the man, or if there were any injuries, though they did say officers arrived on scene and provided aid to the victim. They also did not provide any descriptions of the suspects. Patch reached out to the Danville Police Department for additional information.

Saturday’s robbery was the second of its kind in Danville in just over a month. On July 1, a man was robbed at gunpoint at the parking lot of a Trader Joes by another trio who also fled.

A few days later, an 18-year-old and two juveniles were apprehended and charged with armed robbery, several weapons violations, participating in a juvenile street gang, and more.

Anyone with information on Saturday’s robbery is asked to contact Sgt. Jacob Bell at 925-314-3702 or email jbell@danville.ca.gov.
