A young couple is being held in the San Mateo County Jail each on a $50,000 bail bond after they allegedly went on a crime spree throughout Peninsula, California. According to Patch.com, 18-year-old David Cooper and 19-year-old Keyana McLish met one another on an online dating website. After a few weeks of dating, Cooper held several individuals at gun point and robbed them while McLish was behind the wheel of the couple's getaway car. In one of the robberies, Cooper chased a man in San Mateo into his apartment building and stole the man's wallet and cellphone. The victim told investigators he watched Cooper get into a red car after the incident.

Six days later, another man was walking down a San Mateo street. When he noticed Cooper and McLish's red car slowly trailing behind him, Cooper allegedly ran up to him, put a shotgun to his head and demanded money. The man handed over his wallet and Cooper allegedly got back into the red car. Luckily, the man was able to notice that McLish was wearing "distinctive hoop earrings," which is a defining factor that led to the couple's arrest.

According to Patch.com, San Mateo Police officers noticed Cooper and McLish's vehicle driving around neighborhood streets, and recognized that the female driver was wearing hoop earrings that matched the second victim's description. The officers pulled the vehicle over for a traffic stop and discovered that Cooper had a shotgun tucked into his pants. Both of the victims were able to positively identify Cooper and McLish, and the duo were later arrested. They are expected to appear in South San Francisco felony court for preliminary hearings for a potential trial, according to the source.
