Investigators from the Rancho San Diego Sheriff's Station want your help in identifying and locating two suspects wanted in connection with a series of armed robberies that happened between October and December 2017 across San Diego County.
The so-called "Grinch Bandits" have held up businesses in Spring Valley, San Diego, El Cajon and National City. The suspects entered each location in a similar manner. The first suspect walked in, pointed a shotgun and the clerk and demanded money. The second suspect then took the money from the register.
Suspect #1 (seen in the photos attached to this bulletin) is described as a black man standing around 6' tall and weighing about 175 pounds with an athletic build. Suspect #2 is described as a black man standing around 5'9" tall.
The "Grinch Bandits" should be considered ARMED AND DANGEROUS. IF YOU SEE THEM, CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY.
