UPDATE*
UPDATE: 6/30/20 2125 hrs.
A subsequent investigation by Chico Police Detectives has
identified the robber as 32 year old Jacob Webber Gabriel of
Eureka, CA. Additional evidence has also identified Gabriel as
the person responsible for the Speedway Gas Station robbery in
Chico on 6/28/20. An arrest warrant was issued for Gabriel for
these robberies.
On the evening of 6/30/20, Chico Police Department Detectives
located Gabriel driving a vehicle on Manzanita Court within the
City of Chico. When detectives attempted to stop the vehicle, he
took off, traveling on city streets in excess of 100 miles per
hour. Due to the overwhelming risk to the public posed by the
fleeing suspect, the pursuit was terminated. Gabriel’s vehicle
was last spotted traveling northbound on Cohasset Rd. just east
of the town of Cohasset in a silver 2006 Infinity FX35 hatchback,
California Plate:5VPY377 (See attached photos).
During the pursuit, two of Gabriel’s passengers exited the
vehicle and were detained by responding units. Both subjects were
determined to be uninvolved in the robbery. One of the
passengers, John Eldridge of Paradise, CA was arrested on an
outstanding felony warrant. The second passenger was released
without charges. Gabriel should be considered armed and
dangerous. If you have any information on Gabriel’s whereabouts,
contact the Chico Police Department at 530-897-4900.
