Police Arrest Armed Robbery Suspect In Pasadena

ALTADENA, CA — Deputies were looking for a suspect Saturday in an armed robbery in Altadena, authorities said.

It happened just after 1 a.m. Friday, while the victim was sitting in his car in the 3200 block of Olive Avenue, sheriff's Lt. Mark Slater said.

"Two men brandished a handgun as they robbed the man of his property," Slater said, describing the getaway vehicle as a white Ford Explorer.

A deputy on patrol spotted the SUV heading down Marengo Avenue and followed it into Pasadena, Slater said. The SUV pulled into a driveway in the 200 block of Flower Street and the driver and passenger jumped out.

Deputies arrested the driver, Terrell Neal, 23, and searched the area but did not find the passenger, he said.

Neal was booked on suspicion of robbery.
