Women Robbed After Returning From Casino

Two women returning from a trip to San Manuel Casino were reportedly robbed by two men early Monday, police said.

One suspect threatened the women with a knife, while the other suspect took a purse and cash from the victims' car, police said.

The incident occurred just after 3 a.m. in the 200 block of El Dorado Street. The suspects reportedly confronted the women inside their garage, said officials with the Arcadia Police Department.

Neither victim was reported injured.

The first suspect is described as a male Black, 25 to 35 years old, 5 feet, seven inches tall and 180 pounds.

The second suspect is described as a male Hispanic, 25 to 35 years old, six feet tall, 200 pounds and has black hair. The suspects drove away eastbound on El Dorado Street in a copper-colored 2-door Honda Accord.

Continue driving unless told otherwise by a police dispatcher. If you stop, make sure you are in a well-lit area and in public.
