Police Friday were searching for two armed men who robbed a Santa Rosa motel Thursday night.
A clerk at Extended Stay America on Corby Avenue reported the robbery which occurred at 9:31 p.m.
Police said two men entered the motel, pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded cash. After pocketing the money they left the motel. Police did not disclose the amount of cash taken.
A video surveillance camera from the motel’s lobby is being reviewed, Sgt. Lisa Banayat said.
The suspects were described as two black men in their mid- to late 20’s, one approximately 6 feet tall with a goatee, a black beanie and a white T-shirt. The second suspect is approximately 5-foot-11 and wearing a grey sweatshirt.
Police are asking that anyone with information about the robbery call the violent crimes investigations unit at 543-3590.

Nice area. If I had to stay in a motel it sure wouldn't be there! Extended Stay, yeah, right!

First, it is 'cowardly thugs' not "gunmen."
Second, I am SO glad that CA has the strict gun laws it does. Keeps thugs and criminals from getting them. Yep, works like a charm.

Santa Rosa is starting to get bad in terms of crime, especially crime involving guns. What is law enforcement doing? Writing traffic tickets and setting up checkpoints? Great priorities.

Yes, this is getting bad. It seems there is a new robbery story in SC every few weeks.
