Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department detectives are searching for a suspect believed to have been involved in two robberies in La Mirada Monday, and as many as nine other robberies in surrounding communities since last Thursday.
At 1:30 p.m. on Monday, the suspect allegedly handed a threatening note to a clerk at
the CVS drugstore on Beach Boulevard in La Mirada and got away with an
undisclosed amount of cash, according to Sgt. Craig Harman of the
Norwalk Sheriff's Station.
Less than two hours later, the same man held up a Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor at
14750 Beach Blvd. In both cases, the suspect presented a demand note to the clerk,
threatening injury, Harman said.
Harman said the same suspect was believed to have been involved in nine other
robberies between last Thursday and this Monday in La Habra, Buena
Park, Long Beach and Signal Hill.
He was described as a heavyset man in his 30s, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 7 inches
tall, weighing about 200 pounds. When last seen he was wearing a red shirt, black
shoes, white socks, red hat and sun glasses.
Anyone with information was asked to call the Norwalk Sheriff's Station
at 562-863-8711 or the La Mirada substation at 562-902-2960.
