July 25, 2010 Police search for robber dressed as security guard www.privateofficer.com
SACRAMENTO CA July 25 2010 – An afternoon robbery near UC Davis has police searching for a security guard tonight, or at least someone dressed like a security guard.
A teenage cashier at “Scrubs Stop” on Stockton Boulevard was in tears today, as she relived the horror of what happened.
Cashier Holly Lowe says a man in his fifties walked into her store wearing a uniform.
“He was dressed in a shirt that was similar to a security guards uniform walked into the store and started asking her some questions about the merchandise they sell,” said police officer Matt Wimple.
The suspect pulled out a gun and ran off with 200-dollars from the cash register.
“We have officers canvassing the area to see if any other business may have gotten surveillance footage to see if anyone matches that description the area,” Wimple adds.
Workers across the street at a Coca Cola building say they’re not surprised by this robbery at all, in fact, they’ve had things stolen from right out of their car. And neighbors say the problem is just getting worse.
“Our house was broken into twice, and then we got a big dog and we weren’t really bothered again after that,” says neighbor Ralph Brissenden.
“Every so often if you leave your car open, we find in the morning that someone’s gone through it,” adds Marie Copher, another neighbor who lives just a few doors down from scrubs spot. She can’t believe she was just outside playing with her daughter when the gunman fled the scene.
“It’s a really good neighborhood to live in so, I’m sad and shocked to hear that it was just down the street,”the woman said.
