Through a ride-sharing app, San Mateo police were able to arrest a man accused of robbing a check-cashing business in June.
The arrest stemmed from a report of an armed robbery on June 8. San Mateo police said that around 3:15 p.m. that day, a female cashier of a check cashing business in the 600 block of South Norfolk Street reported to have been robbed by an unknown male, who disguised his appearance. 'He informed her of the robbery via note and threatened to kill her with a gun he had on his person. At that time, the cashier gave the suspect almost $16,000, and he then fled the scene,' police said.
'Detectives believed it was likely the subject who ordered the rideshare lied about his name, so after several additional search warrants were written and served, on July 3rd, detectives were able to positively identify the suspect in this case as Juan Pablo Sanchez. ,' police said. On Monday, detectives served an arrest against the 21-year-old Sanchez during a traffic stop in Redwood City shortly after noon. Search warrants were then served for his vehicle and his home in San Mateo.
