An armed robber fled with numerous smartphones after forcing an employee at a North Park store to open a safe, police reported Monday.
The robbery happened about 6 p.m. Sunday at the T-Mobile store on El Cajon Boulevard near 30th Street, San Diego Police Officer John Buttle said.
The robber walked in wearing a dark mask, a black hoodie and black pants, then showed the employee the butt of a handgun and demanded “everything from the safe,” Buttle said.
The employee complied, then was told to get in the bathroom and not come out, the officer said. The robber fled with an unknown number of cell phones.
Once the employee thought the robber had left, he exited the bathroom and called police, Buttle said. The employee was uninjured.
A detailed description of the suspect was not immediately available.
