Sheriff's Deputies Seek Trio in Armed Robbery at Alamo Home

Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputies are seeking three suspects who broke into a house and robbed residents at gunpoint early Wednesday morning, a sheriff’s spokesman said today.

Around 1:50 a.m. Wednesday, sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of an armed robbery in the first block of Crest Avenue in the unincorporated area of Alamo, sheriff’s officials said.

While the residents were sleeping, three suspects, at least one of whom was carrying a gun, entered the house, sheriff’s spokesman Jimmy Lee said.

The suspects threatened the residents and demanded valuables. Once they received some property, they left the house, sheriff’s officials said. Deputies set up a perimeter and used a police K-9 in an effort to find the suspects, but they are still at large, according to sheriff’s officials.

Lee said the investigation is ongoing and said he wasn’t sure how many of the suspects were armed. He said there are no descriptions immediately available of the suspects.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the sheriff’s investigation division at (925) 313-2600. People can also leave tips or an anonymous voicemail at (866) 846-3592 or emailtips@so.cccounty.us.
