Bookmark and Share
Pleasanton police have identified a 36-year-old San Francisco man currently in custody as one of the three suspects in a takeover-style robbery of a jewelry store on Aug. 28.

Corey Paschall is currently being held at the San Francisco county jail on unrelated charges, and will be transferred to the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin when his San Francisco cases are finished, according to Pleasanton police.

The robbery took place on Aug. 28 at the Diamond Creation Jewelry Store at 4000 Pimlico Drive.

According to police, two suspects entered the store, ordered victims to the floor and hit one victim on the head with a pistol before taking cash and jewelry and leaving the scene in a vehicle driven by a third suspect.

On Sept. 1, police received a lead in the investigation, and a follow-up investigation confirmed that Paschall was the suspect that hit the victim with the pistol.

Paschall was arrested on Sept. 1 on a $790,000 arrest warrant, according to police.

Detectives are still looking for the other two suspects. Police are describing one of the suspects as a black man in his 30s who is about 5 feet 11 inches tall, 160 pounds, and was wearing a black hat and shirt.

Where are all the people bashing the police?

You guys are quick to comment when a negative story comes out, but where are you during the positive ones?

Hypocrites I say.

I saw the video and my heart went out to the victims. I am glad to hear that they have identified the suspect and am hopeful that justice will be served.
