The first suspect fled with two consoles, but when a store employee tried to stop the second suspect from leaving, the suspect pulled a silver revolver out of his waistband and pointed it at him, police said.

The victim backed off and the suspect ran outside.

The suspects were last seen driving away in a dark four-door sedan west on Portage Avenue toward El Camino Real. The suspects were both described as Hispanic males between 25 and 30 years old and around 5 feet 8 inches tall, with short black hair and jeans.

The suspect with the gun was wearing a dark t-shirt, and the first suspect had a white t-shirt.

Police have released a surveillance image of the two suspects as well as the sketch of the armed suspect.

Anyone with information on this robbery is asked to call police at (650) 329-2413.
