Bryan Colston and Damario Crawford of Oakland were arrested at the same time following a hold up at a credit union Fremont. Their vehicle had been reported stolen from Hayward the previous week.

All three accused robbers are convicted felons, according to Fremont Police, "Colston was found to have a lengthy criminal history to include multiple prior felony convictions for robbery, carrying a loaded/concealed firearm, felon in possession of a firearm (two separate convictions), possession of a controlled substance while armed with a firearm (separate from above firearms convictions) and multiple probation violations.

"In addition, Colston had also been recently arrested by Pleasant Hill PD for Felon in possession of a Firearm in August of 2019 (that case is still pending). At the time of this bank robbery, Colston was out of custody and on “post release community supervision” (probation due to an early release from custody).

"Crawford also has a lengthy criminal history to include a prior felony conviction for assault with a firearm on a person (Crawford received a 3 year Prison sentence behind that prior conviction).

"Kilgore was on probation for a prior stolen vehicle conviction and had a warrant for possession of a stolen vehicle at the time of this bank robbery."

Police say they recovered evidence from the robbery inside the vehicle as well as inside the pockets of the suspects.

A CHP vehicle stopped the getaway vehicle with a pursuit intervention technique (PIT) that flipped the vehicle around in Hayward.

All three suspects remain in custody. They have been charged with multiple felonies by the District Attorney's Office in connection with the bank robbery, stolen vehicle and chase.
