Tips Sought In Pair Of San Diego Armed Robberies

SAN DIEGO — Authorities reached out to the public Wednesday for help in identifying a man and woman who are believed to have committed two armed commercial robberies on consecutive days this week in San Diego.

Investigators think the same pair carried out the afternoon heists at Tepito Club Apparel on Roll Drive in Otay Mesa on Sunday and at a Chevron gas station on Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach the following day.

In both cases, the female perpetrator threatened clerks with a handgun. Following the first holdup, she and her accomplice made their getaway in blue Toyota Corolla. They fled on foot the next time, according to authorities.

Surveillance cameras captured images of the thieves.

Anyone who might be able to help identify the robbers is asked to call San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 or contact the agency online at sdcrimestoppers.org. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
