Radio Shack robbery reported in Diamond Bar
DIAMOND BAR -- Two men fled with an undisclosed amount of money Thursday after one of them robbed a Radio Shack store at gunpoint, authorities said.
The incident occurred about 7:15 p.m. at the store located at 2785 S. Diamond Bar Blvd., Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Mike Browne said.
After using a semi-automatic handgun to hold up the store, the robber met up with a second suspect in the parking lot and the two fled northbound on foot, Browne said.
Witness accounts indicated the men may have gotten into a getaway car, he added.
The gunman was described as a Latino man, between 18 and 25 years old and standing about 5 feet, 8 inches tall, the lieutenant said. He wore a grey sweat shirt and blue jeans.
The second suspect was described as a Latino man between 25 and 30 years old, wearing a black jacket, a black hat and a backpack, Browne said.
The robbers may have stolen merchandise from the store in addition to cash from the register, he said.

My room mate was just robbed off of Grand near the Target in Diamond bar at 9:40 PM. The suspect is a Black male about 6'0" slim build between 18-20 years of age wearing a dark blue or black "Echo" shirt. The robbery was done on foot and the suspect left in a silver late model Volkswagon Jetta, heading north on grand.
I'm interested in finding out if there have been similar robberies, if there are similar suspect descriptions and if there is an area known to have some shady people around where I can have a PI do some investigating.
