MASSAGE PARLOR ROBBERIES
May 4, 2005
 
 

During the past several months there have been five robberies of massage parlors in the City of Santa Monica.  Apparently, during the robberies, the suspects enter the location then confront the employees and demand money.  During two of the robberies the suspects used a knife to threaten the victim and during one of the robberies the suspects simulated a weapon.   No one has been injured during these robberies.

The suspects are described as 2 Male Hispanics, 5’3” to 6’1’, weighing between 130 pounds to 170 pounds, having short hair, and having fair to medium complexion.  The suspects are usually wearing dark clothing during these incidents.

Anyone having any information regarding these incidents is encouraged to call the Robbery/Homicide Unit of the Santa Monica Police Department at 310-458-8451 or the Watch Commander’s Office at 310-458-8426. 

Callers who wish to remain anonymous, yet still become eligible for a reward, may also call the WeTip national hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME (27463).
