Police Looking for Armed Robber Wearing Dark Sunglasses

Police in South San Francisco are looking for an armed robber who stole more than $10,000 from a local business last week.

Officers responded to a report of a robbery at a business on Grand Avenue at about 11:55 a.m. Thursday.

A store clerk told police that a man had come into the business and asked an employee to hand him a bag containing cash from behind the counter, police said.

The clerk apparently thought the man was joking, and did not give him any money until the suspect pulled out a chrome revolver and asked for the cash again, police said.

The clerk then handed over a bag containing $10,500, police said.

The suspect took the money and ran east on Baden Avenue toward Airport Boulevard.

He is described as a white or Hispanic man with a slender build between 20 and 25 years old and around 5 feet 9 inches tall. He was wearing a gray hoodie, a black T-shirt, blue jeans, black athletic shoes, dark sunglasses and latex gloves.

Anyone who might have information about the crime is asked to call
the South San Francisco Police Department at (650) 877-8900.
