The station reports that both suspects, Gabriel Gonzalez and Jeremy Lovitt, panicked when they didn't find their car outside. They fled to a nearby field and officers arrested them there.
CBS Sacramento added that even though the robbery ended the right way, it is always advised that people being robbed comply for their own safety.
