SJ armed robbery, police chase ends on 101 in Gilroy

An armed robbery and car chase that began in San Jose culminated on southbound U.S. 101 just before the 10th Street off-ramp about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Three suspects in a silver Jeep SUV were arrested, according to the San Jose Police Department.

The chase began when San Jose police responded to a Wells Fargo Bank robbery in southeast San Jose near Bayshore Highway on San Felipe Road, after three suspects entered the bank with handguns. The suspects then fled the scene southbound on U.S. 101.

Suspects threw stolen cash out the window of the Jeep along U.S. 101, at least $13,000 according to Dakota Schmidt of the California Highway Patrol. Some officers stopped traffic to recover the money. 

The arrests were made without incident, and no injuries have been reported. Officers found a firearm and police scanner in the Jeep. The car itself was confirmed stolen out of Greenfield, Calif.
