On December 13, 2009, at about 5:43 PM, a lone suspect robbed the clerk at the Staples store at 8805 Murray Drive, La Mesa. The suspect selected a display item, and waited in line. Once at the register, he simulated a handgun and threatened the clerk, demanding cash. The clerk complied and gave the suspect an unknown amount of cash. The suspect then fled on foot. No one was injured during the robbery, which La Mesa Police believe may be related to a series of robberies in the area.
The suspect is described as a black male adult, 6’2”, 180 pounds, with a build. He was wearing a dark baseball cap with unknown writing on it and “round” sunglasses. He wore a long tan jacket, duster style, blue jeans, and tan work boots. The suspect had a deep voice and appeared very nervous during the incident.
The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information is urged to call La Mesa Police Department at (619) 667-1400.
