PALO ALTO -- Three suspects were arrested Tuesday following three armed robberies Monday evening in Palo Alto and Milpitas, including two within minutes of each other, police said.

The first two robberies happened in the south end of Palo Alto. At around 6:35 p.m. in the 1100 block of Trinity Lane, a resident reported interrupting an auto burglary at his neighbor's home.

One of the suspects pointed a handgun at the neighbor as they fled the scene in a white 2020 Kia Sportage. It was later determined that the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Oakland on Monday morning.
