ROHNERT PARK, Calif. - A 19-year-old Oakland man was arrested in San Francisco on Friday for allegedly robbing a Rohnert Park store employee returning from a bank.
Rohnert Park police officers from the city's Department of Public Safety were called to a Pep Boys auto store on Redwood Drive at about 1 p.m.

The man allegedly got back into the car and fled.
The victim was not injured, according to the Department of Public Safety.
Police obtained the license plate of the vehicle allegedly used in the robbery and used Flock automatic license plate readers to track the vehicle into Daly City.
