'Red Glove' suspect robs Subway, fails at Safeway; caught on film

The Elk Grove Police Department is asking for the community’s help in identifying a suspect involved in a robbery at 5030 Laguna Blvd. (Subway) and an attempted robbery at Safeway 5021 Laguna Blvd.  

On January 22, 2011 at 8:20 a.m., an unidentified Asian female entered Subway and approached an employee working behind the counter.  The suspect handed the employee a note that demanded money and indicated that she was armed.  

The employee feared for her safety and complied with the demands.  The suspect was given an undisclosed amount of U.S. currency and exited the store on foot and was last seen driving out of the parking lot in silver Volkswagen.  

 

On January 23, 2011 at 12:26 p.m., the suspect (photo below) approached a clerk working at the customer service area inside Safeway.  The unidentified suspect handed the clerk a note that demanded money and indicated that she was armed.  

Due to the wording of the note, the clerk was unsure what the suspect was asking for and left the desk area to speak with a supervisor.  When the clerk left the area, the suspect exited the store on foot and was last seen driving away in a dark colored vehicle (see photo ). 
 
The suspect was described as an Asian female adult, late twenties, five feet five inches tall (5’5”), one hundred twenty to one hundred forty pounds (120-140 lbs.) with long wavy black hair and was wearing a gray jacket, red gloves, a black dress skirt and black boots.  Detectives believe that the suspect’s vehicle is a dark silver or gray Volkswagen Passat.
