A man suspected of being a serial armed robber was arrested near San Quentin State Prison on Monday, the San Rafael Police Department said.
Corey Brian Gill, 33, of San Rafael, was apprehended with the help of multiple law enforcement agencies.
Then on Sunday at 1:20 a.m., San Rafael Police responded to another robbery at the Chevron station on Del Presidio in Terra Linda. A similarly described suspect allegedly confronted the clerk with a handgun and demanded cash and gas. During the encounter, the suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash and then forced the clerk to walk to a gas pump, where he filled the suspect's vehicle. The suspect then fled, police said.
On Monday just before 6 a.m., a San Rafael Sergeant saw a vehicle that appeared to match the suspect's SUV on Fourth Street and Grand Avenue. When the vehicle allegedly committed a minor traffic offense, the officer attempted to stop it. As the officer turned on his emergency lights, the vehicle sped away and police began a pursuit. The chase went down Francisco Boulevard East and ended in the area of Lecante Drive and Main Street near San Quentin State Prison.
As teams prepared to begin their search, a vehicle with the suspect trying to hide in the backseat approached a police perimeter checkpoint near Main Street and Interstate Highway 580, police said.
