BREAKING NEWS: Woman accosted by armed robber at Stanford Research Park
Palo Alto police are hunting for a man who pulled a brazen, mid-day armed robbery of a pedestrian in the Stanford Research Park today.At 12:27 p.m., police took a call from a woman who said she was robbed at the intersection of Porter Drive and Hanover Street, near the Lockheed Martin campus off of Page Mill Road. About 10 minutes before that, she said, a man walked up to her, opened his jacket to flash a handgun and said he didn't want to use it.
He took her cell phone and purse, Agent Dan Ryan said.
Shortly thereafter, police spotted a car with a passenger who matched the suspect's description. They pulled over the vehicle on El Camino Real, but have not yet determined whether the occupants were involved in the crime, Ryan said.
The suspect is described as a white or Hispanic male in his mid-20s with very close-cropped dark hair and a goatee. He was wearing white shorts and shoes, with white crew socks pulled up, and a zipped-up black jacket with a San Jose Sharks logo.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police department's tip line at (650) 329-2190.
