2 Suspects Sought in Overnight Robberies

At least two suspects are wanted in the connection with two gas station robberies overnight. The suspects' clothes and getaway car in both incidents were similar according to San Diego Police.

Two men robbed a gas station at Torrey Pines Road and La Jolla Shores Drive at 10:55 p.m. Sunday, police said.

The suspect description in this incident is two Hispanic men in their early 20s, between 5-feet, 6-inches and 5-feet, 7-inches tall. One suspect wore dark blue jeans, a grey shirt and a, dark baseball hat while carrying a bag. The second suspect, who police say carried a gun, wore a black shirt, black pants and a black baseball hat.

Approximately 40 minutes later, two men robbed the gas station at Health Center Drive and Genesee. One of them had a gun, the clerk told police. The suspect description is similar to the previous robbery with the addition of the bag being described as “multi-colored.”

Police said in both cases, the suspects drove off in a maroon, 2-door Ford Explorer. Investigators said a woman may have been driving the SUV in the La Jolla robbery.

The two crime scenes are approximately 10 miles apart.
