Crime blotter

Oct. 21

Raymond Avenue and Foothill Boulevard in La Crescenta, an employee working a street taco stand reported that while he was on a dinner break about five feet away from the taco stand two unknown individuals exited a white Nissan Versa and walked toward the employee/victim. Suspect No. 1 stopped and stood directly in front of the victim and ordered him to give him his phone. When he hesitated Suspect No. 1 revealed bulges in both of his waistbands implying that he was carrying a weapon. The victim stated he saw what resembled a handgun. The victim also saw what appeared to be a handle of a knife inside a sheath that was also on the waistband of Suspect No. 1. When the victim apparently didn’t respond quickly enough to the demands of Suspect No. 1 the suspect punched the victim in the face.

At this point Suspect No. 2 went to the taco stand. He was witnessed to have an unknown amount of cash in his hand.

Both suspects got back into their vehicle and left the area at 10:07 p.m.
