Two suspects were recently caught on surveillance camera videos committing robberies at two local businesses in the Wilshire Center area.

On Nov. 3 at approximately 10:15 p.m., two male suspects entered a cleaners located in the 300 block of Harvard Boulevard and forcibly robbed the owners. The suspects punched and kicked the store owners and demanded money. The owners fought back and did not provide any cash, causing the suspects to flee.

Also on Nov. 3 around 11:35 p.m., the same suspects entered a restaurant located in the 3900 block of Olympic Boulevard and demanded money. The cashier, in fear of his safety, complied with the suspects and opened the cash register.

The suspects stole an undisclosed amount of money and ran from the restaurant.

The first suspect is described as an African American man, approximately 20 years old, six feet tall and 150 pounds. He was wearing a blue beanie-style cap, beige jacket, black or blue gloves and blue jeans. The second suspect is also described as an African American man approximately 20 years old. He is five feet seven inches tall and weighs around 170 pounds, and was wearing a blue beanie-style cap, blue T-shirt, black gloves and blue jean pants.
