From Stan Oklobdzija:
Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputies arrested a five-man bank robbery crew from the Bay Area who they allege robbed a bank in the Foothill Farms area, sheriff's officials said.
Around 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, three robbers entered the Bank of America at the 5300 block of Auburn Boulevard, said Sgt. Tim Curran, sheriff's spokesman.
Brandishing guns, they took over the bank and demanded money, he said. Sheriff's deputies arrived, but the robbers had already fled, Curran said.
Using witness descriptions of the men and their getaway car, deputies tracked the men to a house on the 3800 block of Kern Street in the Del Paso Heights area, Curran said.
All three of the suspected robbers and two men suspected of being getaway drivers were arrested, Curran said. The crew used two cars, leaving the bank in one and ditching it for another at another location, Curran said.
Taken into custody were Anthony Flynn, 33, of Pittsburg; Mashai Hall, 29, of Oakley; Coray Johnson, 29, a transient originally from Sacramento; Edwolon Beshears, 28, of Sacramento; and Donte Beshears, 22, of Bay Point
The crew might also be responsible for other robberies in Sacramento and surrounding areas, Curran said.
