VACAVILLE -- A high school student in Vacaville is recovering after the school district said he was attacked and robbed by four people wearing ski masks.
This happened on Wednesday as the 16-year-old student was waiting to be picked up at Will C. Wood High School on Marshall Road.
Vacaville Unified School District said the suspects took the student's cell phone and then drove away.
The student sustained minor injuries and was immediately given first aid by administrators on campus.
School resource officers got the suspects' license plate from security cameras and worked with police and California Highway Patrol to track them down. The suspects were eventually arrested in Vallejo as they were en route on I-80 going west.
In a letter sent to the students' families, the school district said, "We deeply regret that such an incident occurred on our campus, and we are making every effort to ensure the well-being of the WCW student involved. We will continue to take all necessary measures to maintain the safety and security of our students, staff, and community members.
Officials say none of the suspects are students at Vacaville Unified School District.
