Do You Recognize These Robbers?
Los Angeles: The Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollenbeck Area
Robbery Section is seeking the public’s help in identifying two suspects
that robbed two separate convenience stores in the Los Angeles Area.
First Robbery
On Friday, August 1, 2003, at about 5:25 a.m., two male Blacks entered
the 7-Eleven convenience store located in the 2600 block of North Main
Street. One suspect stood by at the front counter near the cash register
while the other suspect removed a handgun from his waistband. The suspect
with the handgun then ordered a delivery worker to the back office and had
him lay face down on the floor. The same suspect then located the store
employee in the aisle, and at gunpoint, ordered him to go behind the front
counter and open both cash registers. The suspect then removed money from
both registers and placed it inside a black backpack. The suspects took a
total of two hundred dollars.
Both suspects then exited the store and walked West towards Daly Street.
Second Robbery
On Tuesday, August 12, 2003, at about 10:25 p.m., a male Black wearing a
white hooded sweatshirt and a blue bandana covering his face, entered
Mickey’s Liquor Store located in the 4900 block of South Huntington Drive.
The suspect pointed a semi-automatic handgun at two employee’s working the
cash register. The suspect stated, "don’t move, give me your money." The
suspect walked behind the front counter and pointed the handgun to the back
of an employee’s head while he simultaneously removed money from the cash
register. The suspect then calmly walked out of the store.
Surveillance videotape at 7-Eleven and the liquor store caught the
suspect’s images and is available to the media at the LAPD Media Relations
Section located at 150 North Los Angeles Street, room 626.
