BERKELEY – A glimpse of a license plate has four men who allegedly held up a credit union behind bars.

Police say after the Cooperative Center Federal Credit Union in Berkeley was held up at gunpoint Tuesday, an employee was able to write down the license plate number of the getaway car.

Oakland police spotted the car in East Oakland and gave chase until it crashed into a parked car.

Four Oakland men – all between the ages of 20 and 29 – were arrested and booked on a number of charges, including robbery and evading police.

Three of the suspects are being held without bail because they are parolees.
