Beauty shop robbed in West Covina

WEST COVINA — A gunman robbed a West Covina beauty shop Wednesday, police said.
The crime occurred just before 1:10 p.m. at Sally’s Beauty Supply in the 2500 block of East Workman Avenue, West Covina police officials said.
The robber was described as a black man, about 6 feet 2 inches tall and about 180 pounds, West Covina police Lt. Tommy Garcia said in a written statement.
He entered the store and asked an employee for a specific product, Garcia said.
Once the register was opened, “he brandished a small-caliber, semi-automatic pistol and demanded the money in the cash register,” the lieutenant said.
The robber was last seen fleeing the area in a white SUV, police added.
Garcia said investigators were looking into the possibility the same robber may be responsible for other recent crimes in the area.
