Robbery Suspects Wanted NR17238sr

Los Angeles: The Los
Angeles Police Department’s Van Nuys Division detectives are
seeking the public’s assistance to identify suspects who committed
a robbery.

On July 4, 2017 around 6:00 p.m., a robbery occurred in the 14900
block of Raymer Street in Van Nuys. A male suspect and a female
suspect entered a major retail store. The male suspect removed
Beats headphones from the display rack and placed them inside a
shopping bag. The female suspect acted as the look-out while the
male removed the items and concealed them inside the bag. A loss
prevention officer observed the suspects’ activities via CCTV.
After removing and concealing the items, the suspects walked past
the registers and walked towards the store’s exit/entrance. When
another loss prevention officer attempted to detain the suspects
and recover the unpaid merchandise, the male suspect pepper-sprayed
the loss prevention officer. The suspects then exited the store
with the unpaid store items & fled the scene.

Suspect one is a male Hispanic, he stands about 5 feet 6 inches to
5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs about 140 to 150 pounds, and is
approximately 23 to 26 years of age. He was last seen wearing a
black baseball cap, white T-shirt and black shorts. He has an
unknown tattoo on his left inner elbow area.

Suspect two is a female Hispanic, she stands 5 feet 2 inches to 5
feet 4 inches tall, weighs about 130 to 150 pounds, and is
approximately 23 to 26 years-old. She was last seen wearing a red
shirt and tan pants.

The day before the incident, the two suspects were at a fast-food
restaurant in the evening with a young female child. The McDonalds
was in the city of San Fernando. The images of the suspects were
captured by the restaurant’s CCTV.
