On April 26 at approximately 3:15 pm, Walgreen’s (9018 Firestone Blvd) called and advised that a subject entered the store and removed a gun from his backpack. Prior to officers arrival, the store advised the subject was robbing the cashier. Due to a delay, officers believed the suspect was still in the store upon arrival. However, the suspect fled just prior to officers arrival. A suspect description was broadcast and an officer located the suspect to the front of In N Out. The suspect was detained without incident. The suspect was positively identified and the loss (U.S. currency) was found on his person. A search of the path the suspect fled in resulted in the firearm being located. The suspect was booked for armed robbery.
Detectives are investigating an assault that occurred on April 27 at about 9:15 am in the 8800 block of Rosecrans Ave. The suspect and victim were at the self-carwash when the suspect became angry with the victim for not moving his car.
