Lafayette police arrested a man driving earlier this week in connection to a Feb. 22 armed robbery in Danville.
At 9:54 p.m. on Feb. 22, Danville police received a report of an armed robbery at a gas station on the 100 block of Hartz Avenue.
The victims of the robbery reported that four male adults wearing hooded sweatshirts and ski masks robbed them of merchandise and fled before police arrived.
Investigators identified a black Chevrolet Blazer as the suspect vehicle. At 11:19 a.m. Tuesday, Lafayette officers spotted the vehicle on eastbound Highway 24 near Pleasant Hill Road.
Lafayette police pursued the vehicle into Concord with assistance from Concord police. The driver ditched the Blazer and fled the scene in another vehicle but was apprehended quickly in Concord, police said.
Lafayette police arrested 28-year-old Sean Shavers of Oakland, for allegedly using a vehicle to evade a police officer and allegedly being a felon in possession of a firearm, ammunition, and a high-capacity magazine. Shavers was booked into Martinez Detention Facility and is being held on $155,000 bail.
