On Saturday, March 8, 2008 at approximately 1:23 a.m. UCPD received a report of a strong arm robbery, battery and attempted car jacking which had occurred a short time earlier at a Grizzly Peak turnout approximately 1.5 miles south of Centennial Drive. The victims, a 24-year-old non-affiliated Hispanic male and two non-affiliated Hispanic females, 18 and 19-years-age, were sitting on a log at the turn out when a car containing 5 males and 1 female parked next to their vehicle. The suspects got out of their vehicle, approached the victims and spoke to them. Three of the suspects started punching the male victim.
