Teens robbed at gunpoint at Willow Glen High School

Three teenagers who had taken a night-time dip in the pool at Willow Glen High School were robbed at gunpoint shortly after 10 p.m. Monday.

An 18-year-old boy, a recent Willow Glen High School graduate, and two 15-year-old girls, sophomores at the school, had jumped into the highschool pool and were getting out when two men jumped over the fence around the pool area.

The men were wearing black ski masks and were armed with handguns. One man put a gun to the head of one of the girls and demanded that the teenagers hand over their personal belongings, including money, cell phones and keys to a 2001 gold Chevy Tahoe owned by the 18-year-old.

The men jumped back over the fence and fled in the Tahoe, according to San Jose Police Department spokeswoman Gina Tepoorten.

A witness who was walking his dog near the high school saw the men jump back over the fence and called 911, according to police. The police responded, but despite a search that included the department's helicopter were not able to find the men. The Tahoe, which was equipped with an OnStar global positioning system,was found abandoned at midnight near Crescent Drive and Willow Street with some of the teenagers' personal belongings inside.

Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact the San Jose Police Department robbery unit at 408-277-4166 or contact Crime Stoppers at 408-947-STOP.
