Police Seek Four Suspects Who Robbed Gas Station In Culver City

CULVER CITY, CA — Culver City police Monday sought the public's help to identify four suspects who robbed a Shell gas station at gunpoint.

Culver City Police Department officers were called just after 11:45 a.m. Friday to the gas station at 3801 Sepulveda Blvd., near the San Diego (405) Freeway, according to a department statement.

Two employees told officers that three suspects entered the gas station and "began to engage the victims in conversation" before all three produced handguns and demanded money, according to the CCPD.

The employees provided the suspects with $438 from the cash register, and the suspects fled the scene in a vehicle that was driven by a fourth suspect.

No injuries were reported in the robbery.

The first suspect was described as a man about 18-years-old and standing 5-foot-3 inches to 5-foot-5 inches tall, with a skinny build and black hair. He was last seen wearing a blue mask, blue hat, blue jeans, blue shoes and a black long-sleeved shirt, and he was armed with an olive-colored handgun.

The second suspect was described as a man about 18-years-old and standing about 6-feet tall with a medium build and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a blue mask, black and white hoodie, blue jeans and white shoes, and he was armed with a black handgun.

The third suspect was described as a man in his mid to late 20s who stands 5-foot-5 inches to 5-foot-7 inches tall, with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a blue mask, a Boston Red Sox hat, gray shirt, gray sweats and black shoes.

There was no description of the fourth suspect, but the suspect vehicle was described as a newer-model white Mazda CX5 SUV with a Galpin Ford paper plate and a black marking on the left rear bumper.
