'Pizza Deliverymen' Rob Culver City Ross Store
Two uniformed suspects make off with an undisclosed amount of cash from the Jefferson Boulevard shop and may have also robbed a Ross location in West Hollywood earlier in the day.
Two males dressed as pizza deliverymen robbed the Ross Dress for Less store on Jefferson Boulevard at about 5:30 p.m. Monday, making off with $30,000 in cash.
The suspects entered Ross and convinced the store manager to accompany them to the store office to complete the pizza transaction. Once inside the office, the suspects forced the manager to open the safe at gun-point, according to police reports.
The men were described as being Hispanic and in their 20s, said Lt. Ronald Iizuka of the Culver City Police Department.
