Berkeley police Tuesday night arrested four suspects in multiple armed robberies after a chase ended in a crash in Oakland, according to police.

The crash occurred just after midnight Wednesday on High Street near Carrington Street in Oakland, police said. Officers detained one woman at the scene of the crash and caught the other three suspects about a block away. One of the suspects was a juvenile.

One man said he was robbed of his phone, backpack, gold chain and hat. The man said he was leaving work in Berkeley and was waiting for the bus when he was robbed by two gunmen at the bus stop. He says that he's upset because he has never been robbed before.

The man said police returned his phone and backpack, but he was still missing the gold chain and hat.

Police said the suspects are connected to at least four armed robberies that occurred in Berkeley between 11:20 p.m. Tuesday and just after midnight Wednesday.

No injuries were immediately reported in the robberies, the police chase or the crash.
