The Long Beach Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying a suspect wanted for multiple commercial armed robberies in Long Beach.

The three robberies occurred between March 22, 2019 and June 3, 2019, at various times between 9:10 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. All incidents occurred at local restaurants at the below locations:

        •  March 22, 2019 - 1000 block of East PCH
        •  May 20, 2019 - 1000 block of East PCH
        •  June 3, 2019 - 2000 block of East PCH (video shown above)

In each of the incidents, the suspect enters the restaurants, places an order with the cashier, and during the transaction pulls out a handgun and demands money from the employee. None of the victims reported injuries as a result of the robberies.
