February 27, 2024 (El Cajon) – Two teenage boys were arrested following a robbery at the Game Stop Store, 318 Broadway in El Cajon yesterday. El Cajon Police are still seeking two additional suspects.
According to Lt. K. MacArthur, four male tens entered the store around 4:42 p.m. “The suspects cased the store for about ten minutes before pushing a display case onto an employee and grabbing several video game consoles,” he says.
The thieves then fled the store with the merchandise. Officers in the area located two suspects nearby and arrested them. The officers also found all of the consoles the suspects tried to hide. Due to their ages, officers booked the two teens into Juvenile Hall.
Two suspects are still outstanding, and the investigation is ongoing,” said Lt. MacArthur in a press statement. No descriptions were provided.
