Suspects Escape After Armed Robbery In Fairfield
FAIRFIELD (CBS13) -- A Fairfield business was robbed and some of the victims chased after the suspects before gunshots were fired, according to police.
According to police, two male suspects entered a business in the 200 block of Lopes Road just before 3:30 p.m. and robbed six people in the business of their wallets, cell phones and the cash box in the business.
The suspects appeared to be sharing a chrome revolver. One was described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall and approximately 160 lbs. He was wearing a light-colored hoody pulled tight over his face. The second suspect was over 6 tall and 200 pounds, wearing a dark-colored mask with a large afro visible underneath it.
As the robbers were leaving, they took keys to several of the victims' cars, police said. As they tried to figure out which keys went with what cars, some of the victims gave chase. The suspects then fled to an adjacent vacant lot where they were confronted by the victims. One of the suspects then fired the handgun either at the victims or in the air and escaped, possibly leaving in a small white sedan.
Police officers in vehicles and aircraft from the California Highway Patrol were unable to locate the suspects.
The incident took place near Rodriguez High School, but school had been out for a half an hour at the time of the robbery.
Anyone with information related to this crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (707) 644-STOP.
