Oxnard Police Believe Same Armed Suspect Has Robbed Same 7-Eleven 6 Times

 OXNARD (CBSLA.com)  — Police in Oxnard believe they are looking for an armed suspect who has robbed the same convenience store six times.

Detectives putting together clues from each of the various robberies believe one man is responsible.

The 7-Eleven is located at 2201 East Channel Islands Boulevard in Oxnard.

Police are hoping that a description of the suspect and his M.O. will lead to his capture.

The first robbery occurred on November 13th, 2013 just after 1:05 a.m. The suspect reportedly entered the store with a baseball bat and demanded money.

The suspect -- described as a Latino, about 30-40 years old, 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and about 150-170 pounds -- fled on foot.

Three days later, about 12:50 in the morning, Oxnard Police were called to the same location after a man with a baseball bat entered and demanded money.

The third armed robbery took place the next night just before 4 a.m. The same male suspect allegedly entered the store again threatening employees with a baseball bat and demanded money.

On November 19th, at about 12:30 a.m., the same store was hit by the same suspect threatening people with a baseball bat. On this occasion, police said the suspect fled without any money or property.

Five full days went by before the suspect hit the 7-Eleven for the fifth time. That robbery occurred about 1:30 a.m. The suspect had a baseball bat and fled with a minimal amount of cash

The suspect was dormant until Monday, March 10 when he struck again around 2:30 a.m. In this robbery, the suspect wielded a metal pipe. The man reportedly stole some property before he could get money.

The Oxnard Police Department is asking anyone with information about these armed robberies to contact Detective Edgar Fernandez (805) 385-7645.
