THOUSAND OAKS : Reward Offered in Store Robbery
A $1,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest of two men who robbed a Thousand Oaks record store last week.
Police said a man armed with a revolver met one of the store’s clerks just before 8 a.m. Tuesday and forced the clerk to open the store’s safe and give him the cash inside. Another robber took three Sega CD game systems, police said.
The men left the Wherehouse, 1348 N. Moorpark Road, in the clerk’s red Toyota pickup truck, which they abandoned two blocks away, police said.
Thousand Oaks police described the first robber as 5 feet, 7 inches tall, with a medium build, straight black hair and a mustache. The second robber wore blue-framed sunglasses. Both appeared to be in their late 20s.
The reward is offered by Ventura County Crime Stoppers, a private, nonprofit organization. Callers may contact Crime Stoppers at 494-8255.
