LAKEPORT, Calif. – Police are continuing to seek leads in a strong arm robbery from earlier this month as well as a commercial burglary to a downtown bar that occurred late in March.
The robbery, which took place on the evening of April 3, involved a 15-year-old who was punched, knocked down and had his wallet taken at the corner of North Main Street and Mariah Way, as Lake County News has reported.
Lakeport Police Sgt. Kevin Odom said Officer Gary Basor is investigating the robbery.
“We believe the victim's wallet was located in the 1600 block of N. Main St. and he is attempting to determine if it has any evidence,” Odom said in an email message.
Odom added that Basor also has met with the victim again in hopes of obtaining a more accurate clothing description to determine if that might generate some more leads.
Police had described the suspect as a medium dark skinned male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt or jacket – possibly with a red "P" on the front – faded blue jeans, and tan boots or shoes. He may have been associated with a small black compact car with black tinted windows.
Regarding a burglary to the Clearlake Club Bar on March 25, in which cash was taken, Odom said Officer Destry Henderson is leading that investigation.
He said no new leads have surfaced, but Henderson is attempting to identify the person in a surveillance photo police released to the community, which can be seen above.
