After a several block car chase, police tracked down one of two armed robbers who put a gun to three UC Berkeley students early Thursday. 

According to police, the three students were standing on the corner of Telegraph Avenue and Channing Way at 12:41 a.m. when a man wearing a ski mask, whipped out a long black shotgun and demanded their money. 

The victims complied, and the suspect ran into a red get-away car, driven by an accomplice, said Officer Mary Kusmiss. 

Police were notified, and began searching the area. A patrol officer spotted the car at Shattuck Avenue and Channing Way and drove after the suspects, south on Shattuck and then west on Dwight Way. 

The suspects fled their moving car at Dwight and Martin Luther King Junior Way. Officers chased down one of the suspects behind a fence on the 2500 block of Martin Luther King.  

A search of the suspects’ car, which plowed into a tree on the 1800 block of Dwight, turned up a shotgun, a pistol and the victims’ belongings. 

Police arrested Jonathan Agreda, 19, from Oakland on charges of armed robbery and possession of a loaded gun.
