Both suspects fled towards Jellick Avenue and then to Colima Avenue, according to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s crime broadcast.

A second robbery occurred around a 6 a.m. in the area of Ybarra Drive and Carreta Drive. Three suspects described as Latino men in dark clothing took the victim’s wallet by force. The suspects fled in a vehicle possibly followed by a second vehicle, according to a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department crime broadcast.
