Adult Store Employee, Patrons Robbed at Gunpoint

An employee and some patrons at an adult store in San Diego’s Midway District were robbed at gunpoint overnight, police confirmed.

According to the San Diego Police Department, the armed robbery happened just after 4 a.m. at the Adult Depot store located in the 3400 block of Kurtz Street.

Police say two men wearing brightly colored masks entered the shop armed with a handgun. They then ordered patrons to get down on the floor and demanded money from a store employee.

The suspects also stole a wallet from one patron in the store. No one was injured in the robbery.

Police say the men, only described as a black male and a white male, fled the store on foot with an undetermined amount of cash.

The incident is under investigation. Anyone with information on this case should contact the San Diego Police Department.

This marks the second armed robbery at a local adult store in just two days.

Early on Saturday morning, an unknown masked man wielding a handgun robbed the Mercury Adult Bookstore in Kearny Mesa, demanding money from an employee. No one was injured in that robbery.

It is unknown if these two incidents are in any way related to one another, as both are still under investigation.
