A U.S. Postal Service carrier was thrown to the ground and had her keys taken from her Saturday afternoon on the 700 block of Old County Road in Belmont, and two people were arrested after a similar incident in Palo Alto, according to police.
At about 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 11, Belmont police were called to an apartment complex on the report of a robbery and gathered video surveillance to determine the make and model of the getaway vehicle along with the license plate number. At about 2:15 p.m., Palo Alto police received an emergency call of a robbery of a postal service carrier and realized it was the same suspects. Police there were able to locate the vehicle and both suspects were arrested after a brief pursuit, according to Belmont police.
Belmont detectives are working closely with Palo Alto police and U.S. Postal Service investigators to determine if these suspects are responsible for any other similar crimes.
Anyone with information is asked to please contact Belmont police at (650) 595-7400 or to leave an anonymous tip at (650) 598-3000.
