SHERIFF’S OFFICE ASKS FOR HELP TO IDENTIFY ARMED ROBBERY SUSPECT

On August 13, 2012 at 10:22 a.m., the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office was notified of an armed robbery which just occurred at New Horizons marijuana dispensary located at 1460 Woolsey Heights.  

Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office responded to the business and learned a white male in his late twenties with crooked yellow teeth, armed with a black and silver semi-automatic handgun had robbed the business and fled on foot.  The suspect was described as wearing a white long sleeve shirt, black pants, camouflage fisherman hat, and silver aviator sunglasses.  He was carrying a large black backpack which he used to place items from the business inside.  No one was injured during the robbery.

The area was searched but the suspect was not found.  Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division responded and assumed the investigation.  A grey sedan was seen passing the business on two occasions just prior to the robbery and is a vehicle of interest.  Surveillance footage from the business was obtained and the Sheriff’s Office asks for help from anyone who may recognize the suspect or have information about the crime to call Detective Otto at 520-7189 or the non-emergent line at 390-5555.
