AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Austin police say a 7-Eleven clerk helped orchestrate a robbery at the store.
Police have charged four people with a first-degree felony count of engaging in organized criminal activity. That includes 21-year-old employee Leah Gonzalez.
An off-duty Travis County jail deputy called police Saturday night to report an armed robbery. Reports say the robbers took $250 in cash and $6,000 in gift cards.
The deputy followed a gold minivan that contained the suspects until police arrived. They say the suspects led police on a chase through residential streets and on Interstate 35 that reached 120 mph. They say the clerk’s boyfriend, brother and friend were arrested and that all four live together.
All four are each being held in the Travis County jail on $125,000 bond. Online jail records didn’t indicate attorneys.
