Lakeport Police Department seeks assistance in identifying strong-arm robbery suspect

LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is asking for the community's help in identifying a suspect who allegedly robbed a teenager Tuesday evening.

Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen said a strong-arm robbery was reported on Tuesday at approximately 6:15 p.m., at the corner of N. Main Street and Mariah Way near Del Lago in Lakeport.

A 15-year-old male juvenile reported being hit in the face and knocked to the ground by a medium dark-skinned male who was approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt or jacket, possibly with a red "P" on the front, and faded blue jeans, and tan boots or shoes, Rasmussen reported.

After knocking the victim down, the suspect took a black leather trifold wallet that has a silver medallion in one corner, according to Rasmussen. The wallet contained a one dollar bill, a Taco Bell gift card and a thermometer card.

Rasmussen said the suspect was last seen walking south on Main Street and may be associated with a small black compact car with black tinted windows.

Responding officers checked the area and were unable to locate the suspect, he said.

The victim was not injured, other than having a red mark on the right side of his face where he reported being hit, Rasmussen said.

The investigation is continuing and anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Officer Gary Basor at the Lakeport Police Department, 707-263-5491.
