The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) apprehends four suspects following a dramatic armed robbery on Lombard Street, which took place last Sunday. The incident began around 4:02 PM when two victims reported being threatened by armed assailants, who fled the scene in a vehicle after their demands were unmet.

The suspects—identified as Jose Arturo Cedeno, Noe Alexander Hernandez, Elder Lariosmayan, and Carlos Geovany Alegria—face multiple charges, including attempted robbery and conspiracy. Notably, Cedeno is also linked to previous warrants involving a firearm offense. The swift arrest underscores the SFPD’s commitment to leveraging technology in crime-fighting efforts, prompting public interest in the technology’s role in securing community safety.
