Brentwood — Police have arrested two suspects for an armed robbery at Los Mexicanos
Market. The victim was robbed at gunpoint late August 3. Both suspects fled from the market
on Sand Creek Road in a black sedan.
While responding Brentwood officers were questioning the victim, Oakley police spotted and
pursued the getaway vehicle within their jurisdiction. The vehicle traveling at a high rate of
speed subsequently crashed into an embankment off State Route 160.
Brentwood officers soon arrived at the scene. They confirmed the vehicle matched the
description of the vehicle used to flee from the robbery. Inside this vehicle, officers found a
loaded handgun and property stolen from the robbery victim.

August 3 at 2:22 a.m. Douglas is charged with second-degree robbery and three firearms-
related charges. He remains in custody at the West County Detention Facility in lieu of
$160,000 bond, pending a court hearing on October 7.

August 8. Gray remains in custody at the West County Detention Facility on a parole hold
ineligible for release on bond. Gray is charged with second-degree robbery and multiple
firearms-related charges with enhancements.
