PHOTOS: Suspects sought in El Segundo robbery
Investigators suspect a robbery at a Walgreens in Lakewood on Monday might be linked to the a holdup at a Walgreens in El Segundo last week.The crimes, in fact, might be part of a recent pattern that included up to four crimes at Walgreens in Lakewood and other areas, El Segundo police Lt. Ray Garcia said.
In Monday's crime, an off-duty Carson sheriff's deputy was shopping inside the Walgreens in the 5800 block of Lakewood Boulevard when two gunmen entered the drugstore at 5 a.m.The deputy fired shots at the robbers during the holdup, but they escaped.
The crime was similar to a holdup at the Walgreens at Sepulveda Boulevard and Grand Avenue on May 5, when a gunman in a hooded sweat shirt ordered the manager to open a safe. He escaped with $5,700 in cash
