On December 29, 2009 at approximately 7:45pm, an armed robbery occurred at the Best Buy store located at 1127 Industrial Road in San Carlos.

The suspect entered the store and selected specific items of merchandise from the display shelves.  When the suspect tried to leave out the back door with the merchandise, he was confronted by a store employee.  The suspect pointed a handgun at the employee and then left out the back door with the merchandise.

The suspect is described as a Black male, approximately 30 years old, 5'8" to 5’9” tall, medium build, with a pock-marked face, a mustache and goatee, a gold cap on one of his front teeth, with at least one pierced ear, and possibly with a diamond stud in his pierced nostril.  He was wearing a black leather jacket with a grey "hoodie” underneath, faded black pants, and a black knit beanie cap.

The case is still under investigation and the San Carlos Police Department is currently analyzing evidence and following up leads.
