In the last three days there have been four stickups using a sawed off shotgun by a man in the Eureka/Fortuna area. Below is a press release from the Fortuna Police Department on the latest one we know about. We’ve included links to the earlier stickups below that.

On November 5, 2016 at approximately 4;53am, Officers responded to a Motel, located on Alamar Way for a report of an armed robbery that had just occurred.  Upon arrival, Officers contacted an employee who reported a male adult approximately 6’03”, thin build, wearing a dark jacket with a gray hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, red t-shirt, black bandana covering his face, entered the business, brandished a sawed-off type shotgun and demanded money from the employee.  The suspect fled the scene on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Fortuna Police Department at 707-725-7550 or the WeTip Hotline at 1-800-78-CRIME.

Early Christmas money. The holidays seem to always be stressful! The suspect must want to get his shopping done before all the craziness on Black Friday. I’m not condoning the way he’s going about though.

We could hope it was for early Christmas but I’m pretty sure it’s not!! I hope they catch this Dude before done one is hurt. I think releasing a picture would help catch him.

They’re looking for easy targets. Late at night, low people flow, darker locations. We started pulling video after hearing about this robbery, and sure enough, he walked up to our business and tried the door handle. Being locked, he walked away. Don’t be an easy target!

I hope he is caught before it escalates in to violence or homicide, it’s just a matter of time if it is the same person

If only the victims had been walking around armed, gun in hand, round in the chamber, finger on the trigger, they could have gotten the drop on the thieves.
