On 03/16/16 at approx. 1452 hours officers were dispatched to a report of a robbery that
had just occurred in the parking lot of a business in the 200 block Strander Blvd.
The victim, an adult male, had gone to the location to make a purchase of a watch that
had been found in local media. Once there, the victim was approached by two adult
male subjects who said they didn't have the watch the victim had intended on
purchasing, but wanted to sale a different watch to him. Upon the victim declining to
purchase the second watch, one of the males produced a handgun and robbed the
male of 2 backpacks and cash. The males then got back into a nearby waiting vehicle
and fled. The victim followed the suspect vehicle until it entered a business office dead -
end parking lot, approx. 1 mile away from the scene of the initial contact. At that
location the suspect vehicle was abandoned and the two adult male suspects fled on
foot and were seen entering the building.
Officers arrived at the office building and set up a security perimeter. As officers began
an initial search of the businesses, the two suspects were encountered in a hallway and
taken into custody without incident. They were positively identified by the victim. A
female subject was found inside the suspect vehicle and detained for questioning.
The incident is under investigation by Major Crimes Unit Detectives.
