HOLLYWOOD—Four suspects are being held in police custody after robbing a Starbucks at Sunset and Gower Street in Hollywood on Friday night.

According to police, two unidentified men wearing masks, held up the coffee shop at gun point minutes before it closed at around 11:45 p.m., and stole an undisclosed amount of money along with cash and property from customers in the store. The two fled the scene in a Dodge Charger where two unidentified females waited.

Police helicopters spotted the vehicle heading south on the 110 Freeway, and 3 of the 4 suspects were soon arrested at a gas station after they exited at Manchester. The other suspect attempted to flee, but was found hiding under a house by a police dog at around 2:00 a.m.

The four suspects, all in their 20s, were booked on suspicion of robbery and accessory to robbery.
