Armed robbery at Ventura Chevron Gas Station

Ventura Police Department – Incident Press Release

On February 28th at 11:58 PM the Ventura Police Department Command Center received a 911 call from an employee of Chevron, 6762 North Bank Dr., reporting that an armed robbery had just occurred. The suspects, one armed with a handgun, were last seen fleeing westbound from the business on foot.

During the investigation officers learned that there was one employee inside the gas station, when both suspects entered the business. The one suspect armed with a gun pointed it at the employee and demanded money from the cash register. The employee was then ordered into the bathroom. While the employee was being held in the bathroom, the second suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash from the register and both suspects fled from the store.

Officers checked the area, but were unable to locate the suspects. A Ventura Police K-9 was used in an attempt to track the suspects, but was unsuccessful. The employee was not physically injured as a result of this crime.

The same suspects possibly committed a second robbery in Camarillo approximately 30 minutes later. Ventura Police Department Major Crimes Detectives are working with detectives from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department to confirm if both crimes are related.

Anyone with information or is a witness to this crime is asked to contact the Ventura Police Department at 339-4464.
