By North County Times | ∞
CARLSBAD ---- Police are searching for a robber who punched a front-desk clerk in the face early Sunday before making off with the woman's car and an undisclosed amount of cash from the Tamarack Beach Resort.
Shortly before 4 a.m., the robber walked into a back room of the lobby and punched the clerk, a woman in her 60s, in the face, police said.
After hitting the woman, the robber demanded to know where he could find the resort's cash, the woman's car keys and her car, police said.
The robber escaped with all three.
He is described as white, in his 20s, approximately 5'8", wearing a dark T-shirt and shorts at the time of the robbery.
The victim's car is a maroon 1998 Saturn SLR2 with a California license plate 4BPV789.
Police did not provide information about the victims injuries or how much cash was stolen from the resort.

Pathetic. I do not care about the ethnicity of any criminal. I want them all to pay up according to their crime(s).
Peace

But boy if this guy was Latino, damn the blogs would be on fire with the dirty nasty racist comments. I think it is true crime is okay with them as long as you are a U.S. citizen, what a joke.

I couldn't understand why I was being pulled over in the middle of the day so abruptly by CPD in the village... Maybe it's because I drive a mid 90's Saturn, nahh! Or is because I haven't shaved or maybe because he was profilling, wait I am white. Little humor for you people that think cops don't bug us white folk.
Everything checked out for me and I was let go, took about 2 minutes. No biggie and still made lunch...
It after this when I heard about the robbery... Now it makes sence. So pull me over any time... I'd rather be stopped for 2 minutes than have this freak run loose.

Safety Concern wrote on Nov 17, 2008 4:27 PM:This is really sad; I hope the guy gets caught. I also hope that the management thinks again about putting an older woman at the counter during the late night/early morning hours. Robberies like this shouldn't happen, but maybe having a younger man working the counter could deter future problems.

You think CPD can catch the guy??
