On Tuesday, September 21st, 2021, at 11:33 pm, the Turlock Police Department was dispatched to a reported hold-up alarm at Quik Stop, 2406 W Monte Vista Ave, Turlock. While officers were en route to the call, the clerk called dispatch and confirmed that there was indeed an armed robbery that had just taken place. The clerk provided dispatch with a description of two suspects, which was relayed to responding officers who checked the area, but were unable to locate anyone matching.

It is currently unknown if the suspects fled on foot or in a vehicle.
Officers collected surveillance footage to be used as evidence and will follow up.
The investigation remains on-going. Anyone with information that could assist in the investigation is encouraged to call Officer Milton Hulsey at 209-668-5550 extension 6733.
