Costa Mesa police arrested four out of five people suspected of an

early-morning robbery in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant

Saturday.

The robbery happened near the Jack in the Box in the 1200 block of

Baker Street at about 3:15 a.m., Lt. Dale Birney said. He said five

people wielding a hammer, tire iron and knife between them approached

four others and stole an unknown amount of cash and a large speaker

box. Birney said no one was hurt during the theft and that the

robbers headed toward McClintock Way after the crime.

Police patrolling McClintock Way saw a group of people run in

different directions as they rode along the street, Birney said.

After police set up a perimeter around the area, four Costa Mesa

residents were arrested and booked on suspicion of robbery and

conspiracy to commit robbery.

Police arrested Reuben Gonzalo Flores, 22, Jesus Torres Gomes, 20,

Adrian Pina Manrique, 24 and a 16-year-old boy who was taken to

juvenile hall, Birney said. The adults were held in Costa Mesa.

A description of the fifth suspect was not available.
