Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor VINCENT - An armed man robbed two 7-Eleven convenience stores of cash in a one-hour period Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The suspect entered a 7-Eleven, 17020 Cypress St., around 11:45p.m. Wednesday and stole around $150 with the use of a black pistol grip shotgun, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s San Dimas Station. As deputies searched the area, Covina Police officers detained a man in a vehicle because he fit the suspect description. As the man was being detained, the San Dimas Station received a robbery alarm call at another 7-Eleven.
The same suspect in the first robbery struck the 7-Eleven at 15942 San Bernardino Rd. around 12:40 a.m. The suspect stole $200 and fled southbound on Irwindale Avenue on foot. The suspect is a Hispanic man, around 22 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 170 to 180 pounds. He wore a black bandana across his face, a grey jacket and black pants. |
