SAN JOSE (AP) — A 13-year-old San Jose boy and an 18-year-old man are in custody after police say they went on a robbery spree Friday night, then led police on a chase.
The San Jose Mercury News reports that after holding up five people at gunpoint in a span of about four hours, the two teens were arrested around 12:15 a.m. Saturday at the end of a police pursuit.
San Jose police Sgt. Jason Dwyer says the 13-year-old was behind the wheel of a Volvo when he led officers on the chase that ended with the car crashing into a wall, then slamming into a police car.
The 13-year-old was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer. His name was not released because of his age.
The 18-year-old, Xavier Espana, was also arrested. He was being held in the county's main jail.
