SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Police are asking for the public’s help identifying several suspects they say robbed a man before threatening him with a gun.
The robbery happened on August 11 around 5:24 p.m. near the Forever 21 at Fashion Valley Mall.
Police say the two suspects approached a 27-year-old and asked to use his iPhone before grabbing it and running away.
When the victim ran after both men, the second suspect pulled a gun out of his waistband and told the victim he “did not want any of this.”
