2017-16201 – On March 16th at 8:47 p.m., officers were dispatched to the Quality Inn located in the 5200 block of Interstate 10 in reference to a robbery that had just occurred. Upon arrival officers contacted the complainant who advised that 3 black males had entered the hotel, one of them brandishing a weapon, and demanding the money from the register. Once the suspects took the money out of the register they attempted to have the complainant open the safe, which she was unable to do. The suspects then fled the scene and got into a dark colored passenger car, possibly a Honda or Acura, and fled east on Interstate 10. The suspects were described as black males, two of them wearing hoodies, one black and one gray, the third suspect was wearing a black shirt. All three had their faces covered, one with a green bandana, one with part of the hood of his hoodie and the third possibly with a panty hose. Detectives are investigating.
