A suspect who tried to rob a taco stand at gunpoint in south Sacramento but was taken down by employees was also booked into jail in connection with a robbery at Chando's Tacos last year, police said.

A man arrested by the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office after an attempted robbery at a taco stand has been accused of similar crimes at three separate eateries across the capital region, including at Chando’s Tacos in North Sacramento, police said.

The suspect is accused of four armed robberies at taco stands in Sacramento. A worker was pistol-whipped at one of the locations.

Employees of the taco stand wrestled the man to the ground and knocked the gun loose. They held him down until Sacramento Police officers and Sacramento County deputies arrived to take McGrath into custody, the sheriff’s office said.

Employees at Tacos La Guadalupana in South Sacramento successfully tackled and held down an armed robber, leading to his arrest by Sacramento County Sheriff’s deputies.

Sacramento Police Department has arrested a 21-year-old male suspect in connection with three armed robberies at local taco stands, after an investigation by Robbery Detectives and a joint effort with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
