Paso Robles, CA- On Tuesday night, October 25 at approximately 9:45 pm, Paso Robles Police Officers
were dispatched to a CVS store located at 187 Niblick Road regarding a robbery in progress. A
single male dressed in all black and wearing a black ski mask, entered the store and
immediately demanded money from the cashier. The suspect was brandishing a knife
and threatened the cashier. The suspect was able to obtain a small amount of money
from the register and fled to the rear of the business.
PRPD Officers arrived at the business within 1 minute of receiving the 911 call and
began escorting customers and employees outside out of harm’s way. Officers
received information that the suspect may still be in the business. A request was made from
the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Department K9 unit to respond to the business to assist
with searching the business. An extensive search of the building was conducted but the
suspect was not found. Further investigation showed that the suspect had fled out a rear
exit door prior to officers’ arrival.
This investigation is ongoing, and anybody with information is encouraged to call the
