A San Jose bank robbery that lead to a vehicle pursuit and airborne money on Highway 101 ended in the recovery of a stolen vehicle and the arrest of three suspects in Gilroy Tuesday morning.

San Jose police officers were dispatched at 10:39 a.m. to the report of a "takeover" style armed robbery at the Wells Fargo on the 3300 block of San Felipe Road, where three suspects allegedly robbed the bank with handguns and left with an undisclosed amount of money, Sgt. Jason Dwyer of the San Jose Police Department wrote in a prepared statement.

The suspects then fled the scene and jumped into a waiting silver Jeep SUV and took off southbound on Highway 101 near Hellyer Avenue. Alert officers were able to locate the threesome and initiated a vehicle pursuit when the suspects refused to stop, Dwyer wrote.

During the pursuit the suspects attempted to ditch the stolen money by discarding it out a window while driving down the freeway, causing some officers to abandon the pursuit to stop traffic and recover the money.

The suspect vehicle then pulled over on Highway 101 near 10th Street in Gilroy and surrendered without incident, Dwyer wrote.

Officers located a firearm and a police scanner in the vehicle, which is reportedly stolen out of Greenfield, Calif.

The three suspects are currently in custody and are being transported back to the SJPD. Their identities will be released once they're booked into county jail, the San Jose Mercury News reported.

Patch will have more updates as additional information becomes available.
