An armed robbery and car chase that began in San Jose culminated on southbound U.S. 101 just before the 10th Street off-ramp Tuesday around 11:30 a.m.
Three suspects in a silver Jeep SUV were arrested, according to the San Jose Police Department.
The chase began when San Jose police responded to a Wells Fargo Bank robbery in southeast San Jose near Bayshore Highway on San Felipe Road, after three suspects entered the bank with handguns. The suspects then fled the scene southbound on Highway 101.
Suspects threw stolen cash out the window of the Jeep along U.S. 101, at least $13,000 according to Dakota Schmidt of the California Highway Patrol. Some officers stopped traffic to recover the money.Â
