Have You Seen These Men? Information Sought In Ayres Hotel Area Robbery

SEAL BEACH, CA — A Seal Beach woman was robbed Wednesday, and Seal Beach Police are asking for assistance in the investigation.

On Tuesday, May 9 at approximately 8:45 p.m., the victim was driving her car in the parking lot of the Imperial Spa in the City of Garden Grove, Seal Beach Police Sgt. Mike Henderson said.

" A gray Jaguar struck the 69-year-old woman's vehicle from behind and two occupants (robbery suspects) got out of the Jaguar," he said. "The suspects would not provide insurance information and the victim did not have all of her insurance information."

The victim agreed to get the insurance information from her home with the suspects following her. According to Henderson, she changed her mind while en-route to her residence, and stopped at the Ayres Hotel in Seal Beach, instead.

While she was talking to one of the suspects, the other suspect grabbed her, as can be seen in the below surveillance video.

"She escaped and ran into the hotel lobby," Henderson said. "The suspects took her satchel from her car and fled in the gray Jaguar."

The suspects are described as:

• (Suspect #1) male, black, mid-20’s, 6’, 200 lbs. wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
• (Suspect #2) male, black, mid-20’s, 6’ 170 lbs. wearing a short-sleeve white shirt with an unknown logo, and blue jeans.

The suspect vehicle is described as a possible older, gray, Jaguar 4-door sedan with a non-functioning right rear brake light.
