Woman Robbed While Walking to BART Station

A female victim walking to the South San Francisco BART station early Thursday morning was robbed, police said.

Around 6 a.m. the female victim was walking through the Winston Manor Shopping Center in the 100 block of Hickey Boulevard when a male suspect approached the victim from behind and placed what she said was a gun against the small of her back, police said.

The suspect demanded the victim's belongings and she complied. The suspect then got into a waiting car that was driven by a second suspect, only described as a man.

The two fled south on El Camino Real, according to police. The first suspect was described as a Hispanic man about 25 to 30 years old, standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds with a stocky build.

The suspect appeared to be bald and had no facial hair. He spoke with a strong accent, police said. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head.

The getaway car was described as a red or maroon four-door sedan, possibly an older model Toyota. The first two digits of the license plate may have been 6X.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any information regarding the identity of the suspects is encouraged to call the South San Francisco Police Department at (650) 877-8900.
