El Torito’s Banditos Part Dos

by The Editors on December 21, 2007

The Carlsbad Barrio’s El Torito Market at 3161 Roosevelt St. was robbed for a second time in three weeks at 8:14 Wednesday night December 19, 2007, according to a story on Sign On San Diego.

Two men, at least one with a handgun, held up the clerk, who handed them an undisclosed amount of cash taken from the register. . . When another clerk peered around the corner to see what was happening, the man fired a round from a .38-caliber handgun, Reno said. The shot missed the clerk and no one was injured. The robbers then fled on foot heading west.

On November 30, 2007 the market was robbed by two Latinos. This time it was by two African Americans in their 20s. As usual, the Carlsbad Police department would like any info related to this robbery. Call them at (760) 931-2115.

What is with all the crime in downtown Carlsbad lately? Is it me or do we have a disproportionately high rate of armed robbery, bank or otherwise, for such a small town? Has the CB Police Department issued any statements about this? Have they formed some kind of task force? Get on the ball!
