The video store bandit struck again Thursday, police said.
This time it was a video store in the 2900 block of Alta View Drive in San Diego. It was the 13th robbery of a video store since September.
The armed bandit walked into the Video Discount Store shortly after 11 a.m., police spokesman Bill Robinson said, adding that the man was carrying what looked like a Christmas present wrapped in red paper. He showed a revolver to an employee and made off with about $150.
Lt. Jerry Moody said the robber appears to be the same man who has robbed other video stores in San Diego, National City and Chula Vista.
