Taco Truck Targeted In Armed Robbery Near Redwood City: Sheriff

By Bay City News

The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office is looking for two men connected with an attempted armed robbery Sunday of a taco truck parked in an unincorporated area of Redwood City.

Deputies responded to a 6:28 p.m. report of the incident at Spring Street and Warrington Avenue, where an employee of the Tacos El Grullo taco truck told them that two Hispanic men had brandished black semi-automatic pistols at him and demanded money.

Although the employee told deputies he feared for his life, he refused to give them any money.

The suspects fled in a vehicle last seen traveling southbound on Spring Street. Each man is described as being in his 20s, between 5 feet, 4 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches tall and with a slender build.

Anyone who has information regarding this incident is encouraged to call the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office Anonymous Tip Line at 1-800-547-2700.
