Boost Mobile Armed Robbery

The Riverside Police Department is hoping a member of the public may be able to identify the suspect from a series of armed robberies at a local store. On Saturday, December 27th, a Hispanic male entered the Boost Mobile store on University Avenue. The suspect threatened the female employee with a handgun and demanded the money from the cash register. He then fled from the business, where he got into a silver or white Honda, possibly a Civic, and left the area. This is the second time the same suspect has robbed this Boost Mobile store. He previously held up the store earlier in the month. During the second robbery, store surveillance cameras captured the suspect outside the business before he pulled his mask over his face. Anyone with any information regarding the suspect is asked to call Detective Rick Wheeler at (951) 353-7134.
