Police investigating the strong arm robbery of two Korean exchange students in La Mesa are hoping images of two women getting on the San Diego trolley will lead to an arrest.
The exchange students called police on Wednesday, Sept. 25 just before 5 p.m. reporting that they were punched in the head and robbed of their Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phones.
The robbery happened near the intersection of Campina and Severin Drives. The victims told officers the suspects between the ages of 17 and 18 were last seen running towards the Amaya Trolley Station.
Since then, detectives say they have found images of the suspects in surveillance video from the trolley.
The first woman is 5-foot-5, wearing a white T-shirt, black shorts and black stockings. The second woman is described as 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9 and wearing a navy or black T-shirts and light purple shoes with her hair in dreadlocks.
If you have information, investigators ask that you call the La Mesa Police Department at (619) 667-1400 or CrimeStoppers’ anonymous toll-free tip line at (888) 580-TIPS.
