La Mesa Police Seeking Public Assistance with Robbery
 
On July 20, 2017, at 10:45 am, the La Mesa Police Department responded to a call of an armed robbery at the Conroy’s Flower Shop, located at 5163 Jackson Drive, La Mesa. A passerby saw a male adult suspect enter the store with a mask on his face and a weapon in his hand. This person immediately called the police. Less than a minute later, the suspect came out of the store and got into a vehicle, which was waiting for him. The vehicle was being driven by another suspect.  The vehicle, which had been reported stolen, was eventually recovered by police, but the suspects had fled.
 
The robbery suspect is described as a White male adult, 5’08” to 5’10”. He was wearing sunglasses, a red bandana covering his face, a black shirt and grey shorts. The suspect was armed with a rifle (which has been recovered). 
 
There is no information on the driver of the vehicle.
 
La Mesa Police Detectives are seeking the public’s help with identifying the robbery suspect.  There are several distinct tattoos on his forearms.  See the attached photographs.
