UPDATE: 2 more Armed Robberies committed today by same suspects as yesterdays Armed Robbery
Firday, July 31st at approx. 10:30am, two males entered a mobile phone store located on the 3000 block of Crestline. One of them approached a store employee, said he had a broken phone and needed a new one. The employee showed the man a new phone as the man lifted up his shirt, displayed a gun and demanded all the phones in the store. Before the employee could comply, the man grabbed the phone from the employee and the two fled the store with only one phone. Fortunately, the employee was not hurt
A short time later – 11:53am – at another mobile phone store on the 12,000 block of East Sprague, two males again committed an armed robbery. One man held a store employee at gunpoint, while the other grabbed items from the store. The employee was not harmed and the suspects fled the store with an armful of phones.
