LOCAL : 3 Teens Accused in Santa Ana Theft
Santa Ana police arrested three teen-agers, one of whom had fled to the press box at a football stadium, after the three allegedly robbed a woman at an automatic teller machine and she chased them in her car.
Terry Alphonso Jordan, 18, of Santa Ana was caught at Eddie West Stadium in Santa Ana and arrested on suspicion of robbery, police said today. The others, ages 14 and 17, were taken to a county juvenile facility, police Sgt. Bob Ensley said.
Jordan and the 14-year-old allegedly grabbed the purse containing $28 from a 35-year-old Tustin woman about 11:30 p.m. after she had withdrawn money at the First Interstate Bank near 17th and Greenleaf streets in Santa Ana.
They jumped in their car and sped off, chased by the victim in her car. A police unit pulled her over when the two cars raced by. Another police unit sighted the suspects’ car after its description was broadcast on the police radio, Ensley said.
