Peninsula Armed Robbery Suspects Lead Police On Chase, Escape

PACIFICA, CA — Pacifica police say two suspects held up a man at gunpoint Sunday afternoon and led officers on a pursuit from Pacifica into Daly City, where they finally eluded officers.

Police were dispatched about 3:20 p.m. Sunday to the 1300 block of Rosita Road, where a man said he was held up at gunpoint. The victim handed over the items the two suspects demanded, and they - and possibly a third person - left in a white sedan with paper plates, Pacifica police officers said.

The victim sustained a minor injury during the robbery, police said.

Shortly thereafter, Pacifica police spotted a white, newer-model Chrysler 200 with paper license plates headed north on State Highway 1 near Crespi Drive. Police tried to pull the car over, but its driver refused to stop, instead leading police on a pursuit north into Daly City, where the white Chrysler finally eluded police.

The suspect with the handgun was described as a black male, approximately 18-to-20 years old, 5 feet, 7 inches tall and wearing a dark-hooded jacket. There is no description of the second or third suspects, police said.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Pacifica police at (650) 738-7314 or the tip line at (650) 359-4444. Tips can be submitted online at www.cityofpacifica.org/depts/p...
