The first incident occurred just after
7:00 p.m. at the Starbucks at 6600 Wadsworth Blvd. The second robbery
took place just after 8:45 p.m. at the Starbucks at 8071 Wadsworth Blvd.
In both incidents, an armed male entered
the coffee shops and demanded money from store clerks. No one was hurt
in either incident. A K-9 team was sent to each of the robberies to
conduct a search of the area; however, they were not able to locate
the suspect.
The suspect is described as a white male
in a dark hoodie, wearing what appears to be a ski mask.
Police investigators will work with other law enforcement agencies to see if these incidents are connected with other metro area robberies.
