Palo Alto Police Seek Two Men Who Robbed Fry's Store; Threatened Employee With Gun
PALO ALTO (BCN) -- Palo Alto police are looking for two suspects who threatened an employee with a gun during the robbery of a Fry's store Wednesday afternoon.
The two suspects entered the store at 340 Portage Ave. around 3:45 p.m. and grabbed three gaming consoles with a total value of around $1200 off the shelf.
The first suspect fled with two consoles, but when a store employee tried to stop the second suspect from leaving, the suspect pulled a silver revolver out of his waistband and pointed it at him.
The victim backed off and the suspect ran outside.
The suspects were last seen driving away in a dark four-door sedan west on Portage Avenue toward El Camino Real.
The suspects were both described as Hispanic males between 25 and 30 years old and around 5 feet 8 inches tall, with short black hair and jeans.
The suspect with the gun was wearing a dark t-shirt, and the first suspect had a white t-shirt.
Police have released a surveillance image of the two suspects and are working on producing a sketch of the armed suspect with the help from the victim.
