Woman robbed by armed suspects on bikes at Vacaville's Lagoon Valley Park
VACAVILLE – An investigation is underway after a woman was robbed by armed suspects along a popular trail in Vacaville late Thursday morning.
The Vacaville Police Department said the woman reported that she was walking on the trail inside Lagoon Valley Park near Jack Hume Grove when, around 10 a.m., two young men confronted her.
Neighbors say they're concerned because that's usually the busiest time of the day.
"There's lots of kids, family, bikes, people of all ages out here getting exercise," said resident Jonathan Greenberg.
Both men were on mountain bikes and were wearing black ski masks, the woman said; one of the men also had a handgun and ordered her to give up her purse.
Police said the suspects took off in an unknown direction after the robbery.
Residents say Jack Hume Grove is much more secluded than other parts of the trail.
"If someone was just 100 feet from you, you might not even see them just because of how dense it is," said Matt Boulden, a Vacaville resident.
No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information relevant to the investigation is urged to call Vacaville police.
