Livermore Police Arrest 2 In Connection With Armed Robbery: Cops

LIVERMORE, CA — Livermore police arrested two suspects accused of robbing a victim at gunpoint Sunday night.

Around 11:45 p.m., police received a call that a person had been robbed at an apartment complex on East Avenue, the department said in a social media post. When officers arrived at the location, they saw a car speeding onto a side street. The suspects reportedly fled the car when officers arrived.

Officers called in a K9 team, the Alameda County Sheriff’s Drone Unit, the California Highway Patrol, and conducted an extensive search. Officers eventually arrested two suspects: 23-year-old Juan Gomez of Hollister and 18-year-old Ansel Peoza of Livermore.

Police also searched the suspects’ car and reportedly recovered a Glock 43 with a large capacity drum magazine.

The arrest follows recent reports of armed robbery. On April 21, two suspects were arrested in connection with a robbery outside the Wells Fargo bank on K Street. Another robbery was reported April 13 at Bank of America downtown.
