A pair of gunmen are wanted in a string of small business robberies in Anaheim last month.
The string of heists began on Dec. 3 with a market robbery at 800 N. Harbor Boulevard. The pair have also hit check cashing businesses, motel offices, a liquor store and a beauty shop, Anaheim police Sgt. Rick Martinez said.
The men enter the business and act like customers, Martinez said. Then, one produces a handgun and money is demanded.
The men are believed to be in their 20s, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 8 inches, weighing between 180-200 pounds. They have shaved or bald heads, Martinez said, but one is clean shaven and the other may have a mustache.
One suspect has a 5-pointed star tattoo on his right elbow.
Anyone with information on the robberies can call Anaheim detectives at (714) 765-1947.
