Three Coachella armed robbery suspects arrested
Three people were in police custody Thursday morning accused of stealing alcohol from a Coachella store and firing a gun inside the business.
Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputies told KESQ News Channel 3 a woman and two boys walked into a business at Avenue 52 and Cesar Chavez Street shortly after midnight Thursday.
They were looking for free beer.
Police say one of the suspects fired a gun into the store’s ceiling after a clerk had tried to stop them from escaping.
All three got away but were later arrested at 2:30 a.m.
There were no reports of injuries.
