VICTORVILLE, Ca. – Authorities are asking for help to identify suspects involved in several armed robberies last month. The robberies occurred at local businesses in Victorville, Apple Valley, and in Hesperia, as well as people on the street.

Several of these armed robberies took place on October 17, 2019, targeting businesses that night. All of the incidents were similar with the suspects entering the businesses, brandishing firearms, and demanding money from the employees. The same circumstances took place in other armed robberies before those on October 17, 2019, and they are believed to be related. Witnesses said that there were anywhere from two to five suspects involved in the robberies, all described as black men with firearms. Most described them to be wearing dark clothing and masks.

The joint investigation is continuing, and more information will be released as it becomes available. Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact Detective R.
