Police are searching for two male suspects who allegedly robbed a Clearlake business at gunpoint on Tuesday.
Clearlake Police Officers responded to a reported armed robbery at the Allied Cash Advance store, located at 14888 Olympic Drive in the Burns Valley Mall, at approximately 1:45 p.m. Tuesday, the agency reported.
Witnesses reported two suspects entered the business and ordered the three employees and lone customer to the ground at gunpoint, police reported. The suspects had one of the employees open the registers before removing an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspects then fled the business on foot and were last seen running through the breezeway towards the alleyway of the shopping center, according to the report.
The two suspects were in and out of the store within a minute or two, according to Clearlake Police.
Clearlake Police described the one suspect as a black male adult, about 6 feet 8 inches tall, with a thin, skinny build. He was last seen wearing black clothes with a hoodie-type sweatshirt pulled up over his face, possibly holding a semiautomatic-type handgun.
The second suspect is described as a black male adult, shorter than the first suspect, with a heavier build. Police said the second suspect also was wearing black clothing with a hoodie-type sweatshirt pulled up over his head.
Police have identified a possible suspect vehicle as a white two-door Toyota Solara with gold-colored letters on the rear of the vehicle.
The possible suspect vehicle was last seen heading up Olympic Drive at a high rate of speed toward Highway 53, the Clearlake Police Department reported.
These suspects should be considered armed and dangerous, and police said no attempt should be made to make contact them. Anyone who sees them should notify police immediately.
Anyone with information about this robbery or possible suspects should contact Officer Arron Winslow at 994-8251. Callers may remain anonymous.
