A robbery occurred at the Angeles Crest Highway Mile Marker on July 20 at 10:30 p.m. The incident involved two men who took a victim’s wallet and cell phone with the use of a firearm. The victim and his girlfriend were parked in a black 2023 Tesla Model Y and noticed a black Toyota or Mitsubishi come toward their car and two males exited the vehicle. One of the suspects was holding a black pistol to the victim’s stomach with his hand on the trigger and demanded that the victim empty his pockets and hand over his phone. The victim feared for his life and believed that he would be shot. The other suspect, also with a black pistol, opened the passenger door and grabbed a black leather bag from the victim’s girlfriend. The suspects then drove south bound on the Angeles Crest Highway and out of view.
