Police Seek Suspect in Armed Robbery at Real PCS

Petaluma police are seeking information on the whereabouts of a suspect in an armed robbery Friday at the Real PCS cell phone store at 2620 Lakeville Hwy.

Police said a man entered the store just after 7 p.m., pulled out a handgun, pointed it at the clerk and demanded money.

The man is described as a white male, 6 foot, 1 inch tall, 170 pounds and between 30 and 40 years old. He was wearing a black hat and had on dark colored facial make-up.

According to police, the clerk provided the suspect with an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect then fled the store eastbound through the parking lot and then southbound toward the Azure apartment completx.

Petaluma police checked the surrounding area but were unable to locate the suspect.

The suspect's description, including the use of colored facial make-up, matches that of a man who robbed Check 'n Go, a check cashing store in the Plaza North Shopping Center, on Tuesday.

Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Petaluma Police Department at 707-778-4372.
