A man wearing a monkey mask and a pit bull T-shirt is wanted for robbing a motel clerk in San Ysidro Tuesday.
Surveillance video captured the robbery in the lobby of the Quality Inn on W. San Ysidro Boulevard.
Two men walked in at 11:25 p.m., one armed with a gun. In just seconds, the men left the lobby with cash and the wallets from two clerks. One of the suspects also grabbed a backpack belonging to one of the clerks.
Outside the motel, a light-colored 1998 to 2002 Toyota Corolla was waiting. The vehicle was last seen driving eastbound on W. San Ysidro Boulevard toward the northbound Interstate 5 on-ramp.
No one was injured in the robbery.
Now, San Diego Crimestoppers has released the surveillance video in the hopes someone recognizes the man involved.
