Three Terrorize T-Mobile Store In Seal Beach Robbery

SEAL BEACH, CA — Three people terrorized a store clerk at a Seal Beach T-Mobile before stealing merchandise. Now, authorities seeking help to identify the three thought to be responsible.

A man and two young female teenage companions broke into a T-Mobile store in Seal Beach just before 6:30 p.m. Saturday, according to Seal Beach Police Sgt. Michael Henderson.

The robbery was reported at 13900 block of Seal Beach Blvd., said Seal Beach police Sgt. Michael Henderson.

"Witnesses said the man, accompanied by two girls estimated to be 13 or 14 years old, entered the store and forcefully removed cell phones from the display," Henderson said. "When an employee attempted to intervene, the man threatened the employee with a can of pepper spray, but did not use it."

The suspects fled the area and no one was hurt, according to Henderson.

The suspect was described as Hispanic, in his 30s, about 5 feet 6, 230 pounds, with a mustache and a tattoo of red lips on his neck. He was seen wearing a black shirt and black shorts.

Detailed descriptions for the girls were not available.

Anyone with information on the robbery was asked to contact Seal Beach police Det. Jeff Gibson at (562) 799-4100, ext. 1109.
