Full Notification

The ECPD ‘Police Blotter January 22nd – January 28th contained information about an armed robbery which occurred on January 22, 2016.

It was listed as follows:

Armed Robbery – 1700 block Lexington Ave:
At approximately 1809 hours, the victim was walking south on the BART path when she was approached by the suspect. The suspect brandished a handgun, threatened to shoot the victim, and demanded her cell phone. The suspect fled northbound with the victim’s cell phone. The suspect was described as a 20-25 year old black male, 6-04, 175, dark clothing, shoulder length dreads, smooth skin, and medium complexion.

An investigative lead came in days later when we found out that the cell phone belonging to the victim had been sold to a business in Solano County, which buys used cellular phones. That business provided information about the female who sold them the cell phone and a male that was with her at the time, who was similar in appearance to the suspect in the above listed case.

After further investigation, search and arrest warrants were obtained. The address to be searched was in Antioch, CA. The Antioch Police Department provided assistance by way of their SWAT team serving the warrant on January 30th.
