Bank robbery suspects toss cash, gun in wild freeway chase
Friday April 14, 2006
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) Three bank robbery suspects were arrested after tossing money and a handgun out of their speeding getaway truck in a rush-hour freeway chase.
Two gunmen held Wells Fargo tellers Thursday at gunpoint while an accomplice waited outside the bank.
Police gave chase as the trio fled with an undisclosed amount of cash on Interstate 680 through neighboring cities of Milpitas and Fremont. After reversing course, they flung $1, $20 and $100 bills and a gun from the truck before surrendering.
``We don't know if they were trying to create a distraction, but our focus was to stay within their range,'' San Jose police spokesman Enrique Garcia said.
A section of the freeway was closed for two hours as officers stuffed cash in plastic bags.
The suspects' identities were not released.
