As we previously reported, Concord Police are investigating a robbery at the Chevron ExtraMile store on Alberta Way, just off Ygnacio Valley Road. The incident occurred Monday evening, not Monday morning as we initially reported. According to information provided by a store employee, the robbery appeared to be coordinated. The suspect was reportedly dropped off near Pine Hollow Road and New Hampshire Drive around 9:15 p.m., then walked along Pine Hollow Road to the store, where he waited for customers to leave before entering. After the robbery, the suspect fled on foot toward a waiting getaway vehicle described as a newer black Chevrolet Suburban, which had been parked near a nearby PG&E substation. The vehicle then reportedly drove off toward Walnut Creek along Ygnacio Valley Road. The suspect made off with less than $200, according to the employee. Store staff followed company safety protocols during the incident, limiting the amount of cash in the register and prioritizing de-escalation to avoid confrontation or injury. No injuries were reported. Anyone with information should call the Concord Police Department.
Well that’s more like it, description, photos and details!
Some of my faith in Law Enforcement has been restored.
I don’t see a weapon…. I guess the chain stores just give it up after a couple verbal threats.
A lot of mom & pop stores will still answer robbers with gunfire.
A couple months ago, at a different chain c-store on Clayton Rd, they were robbed and an employee tried to resists and they ended up with brain damage in the hospital for a couple weeks with permanent disability and probably will get some sort of insurance payout.
no one’s own health and well being is worth putting at risk just to stop these criminals from petty crimes.
Even slightly resisting can quickly escalate things to a point where an injury is likely.
And in other cases failing to resist can get you murdered (witnesses are a real inconvenience) Don’t try to convince me otherwise I knew someone who died that way.
BTW – you know what every victim’s last thought is? “I wish I had a gun”.
He is so brilliant he wears a bandana and then forgets to pull it up over his face.
The price of gas will cause more of these clowns to appear.
