**police Investigating Retail Robberies Involving Armed Suspects**
Authorities in Los Angeles are currently investigating two separate incidents of retail robberies involving three suspects, one of whom was armed with a stun gun, according to a recent announcement made by the Los Angeles Police Department.
**First Robbery Incident**
The first robbery took place on April 5 just before 2:30 p.m. at a retail shop located in the 4000 block of South Main Street near the Historic South-Central neighborhood of Los Angeles. In this incident, one man and two women entered the store and began selecting merchandise. However, as they attempted to leave without paying, they were confronted by an employee. The male suspect, identified as 35-year-old Antwaun Pollard, threatened store employees with a stun gun before fleeing with the stolen merchandise.
Although Pollard was apprehended with the help of Loss Prevention, the two female suspects managed to escape capture, and the stun gun was not recovered.
**Second Robbery Incident**
Just five days later, on April 10, at around 2:10 p.m., two female suspects entered another retail shop just one and a half miles away in the 3200 block of South Central Avenue. The suspects committed a nearly identical theft in this store. When confronted by employees while attempting to leave without paying, one of the women was armed with a stun gun as they fled the scene.
**Appeal for Information**
Authorities suspect that there may be additional victims of this trio and have released a picture of Pollard to locate and interview any potential victims. The two outstanding suspects are described as Black women, both short in stature, between the ages of 25 to 30 years old.
