ROSEMEAD — A masked gunman fled with cash Wednesday following a robbery at a Rosemead market, officials said.
A man carried a black and silver semi-automatic handgun when he walked into the International Market, 8638 Ramona Blvd., Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Ismael Chavez said.
The robber demanded money from the clerk before fleeing with an undisclosed amount of cash, the lieutenant said.
He was described as a Latino man in his mid-20s, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, 130 pounds, wearing a brown hooded sweat shirt, brown sweat pants, dark glasses and a bandana over his face.
He was believed to have gotten into a light blue Toyota Corolla with paper license plates following the heist, Chavez said.
Detectives from the sheriff’s Temple Station are handling the investigation.
