Two men armed with handguns robbed an Elk Grove RadioShack store just prior to closing last night.

According to Elk Grove Police, two unknown men entered the store located on Elk Grove-Florin and Calvine roads Elk grove Blvd. and confronted two store employees. The robbers proceeded to take merchandise from the stockroom and cash from the register.

Upon exiting the store, the robbers ordered the store employees to the floor, exited from the rear door and fled in a car in an unknown direction. Responding officers were unable to locate the car or robbers.

One suspect was described as a white male adult, 20 to 30 years of age, 5'9", 150 lbs, wearing a black hooded sweat jacket, with a white cloth covering his face and blue jeans. The other was described as a white male adult, 20 to 30 years of age, 5'9", 150 lbs, wearing a black hooded sweat jacket, with a black cloth covering his face and blue jeans.

A store video has not been released.

Stronger economic development, one walkie-talkie at a time!

It is no coincidence that these robbers hit a store that is right on the border of Elk Grove and unincorporated Sacramento County. As the city spreads its tentacles further south, more crime will permeate into our city going from our northern boundaries south. Not until one of our council members feels the direct effects of this creeping crime will they understand the error of their ways.

Whoever wrote this article needs to go back and get their facts straight. This was not the Radioshack that was robbed. It was the one on elk grove blvd. Read the Elk Grove Citizen!!!

True but you see that doesn't fit the EGN agenda (Creeping South Sac criminals coming into EG at night to steal your children). But, we don't need to trust the EG Citizen... Let's go straight to the source.

We apologize for misidentifying the RadioShack store that was robbed. It has been corrected to reflect the accurate location of the reported robbery.

South Sac is leapfrogging into town...

Seems you can argue which Radio Shack was robbed at gun point, but the real point of the story is that we have armed hoodlums that seems to like EG a lot. I am feeling less and less safe in town. I suspect that feeling is not resigned to the EG area; but this isn't the cute, quite town it once was. From my perspective, that is just sad.
