Santa Ana : Victim Chases Robbers; 3 Teen-Agers Arrested

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, police said Thursday.

Terry Alphonso Jordan, 18, of Santa Ana was arrested at Eddie West Stadium in Santa Ana and held on suspicion of robbery, police said. 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 withdrew money at the First Interstate Bank near 17th and Greenleaf streets.

They jumped in their car, driven by the 17-year-old, and sped off while the victim followed them in her own car. A police cruiser 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, which led to the arrests.
