Police briefs: Gunmen rob pizza place in Salinas

February 27, 2011

Salinas police said two armed men wearing dark bandanas held up a clerk Thursday night at a Little Caesar’s store on East Alisal Street.

Police said the clerk was working the counter when two men walked in about 10 p.m. One man jumped over the counter. He had a handgun and a blackjack. He told the clerk to give him the money from the registers. The other man, also carrying a handgun, kept a lookout, police said.

The clerk complied with the robbers’ demand, and then they took off running, police said.

Both men wore dark clothing.

Monterey County Sheriff’s deputies said they tracked down an alleged vandal and arrested him as a wanted felon Thursday afternoon.
