PASADENA >> A man and woman used a screwdriver to rob electronic components from a car stereo shop in Pasadena on Thursday afternoon, police said.
The crime took place about 3:30 p.m. at Joys Sound, 849 N. Lake Ave., Psadena police Lt. Mark Goodman said.
A man and woman, both in their 20s and both wearing dark clothing, entered the store together, he said.
As the man distracted the clerk by asking him about merchandise, the woman reached over the counter and grabbed stereo installation kit, according to the lieutenant.
“The clerk contemplate giving chase to the suspects, however, (the man) blocked the door and brandished a screwdriver while (the woman) got into a dark-colored sedan,” he said.
The male robber then joined the woman inside the car, which sped out of sight.
