Know Who They Are? Authorities Say the Pair Robbed Cerritos Liquor Store

CERRITOS, CA -- Sheriff's detectives asked for the public's help Thursday to identify two masked suspects who robbed a liquor store in Cerritos.

The robbery took place at M S Liquor in the 17300 block of Janell Avenue about 6:40 p.m. on Dec. 19, according to Detective Ryan Clinkingbeard of the sheriff's Cerritos station.

The men, each wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and dark clothes, entered the store and walked behind the front counter, Clinkingbeard said.

One of the men pulled out a black, semi-automatic handgun and demanded the money from the register and from the clerk's wallet, Clinkingbeard said. After they were handed some cash, the suspects then fled on foot down 195th Street.

Anyone with information on their identities or whereabouts was asked to call Clinkingbeard at (562) 860-0044. Tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS. All tips can be made anonymously.
