The incident took place this past Thursday around 12:50 pm. at a small boutique on the 7800 block of Melrose Avenue. Although the store in question was no definitely identified in the video released by the LAPD, a report from the L.A. Weekly suggests that the store in the video is likely Melrose Athletic Supply, which specializes in limited-edition and collectible sneakers.
After the robbery, the pair fled the scene in a vehicle described to police as a 4-door later model gray Nissan Altima with paper plates.
The suspects were described as men in their early 20s, about 5 feet, 8 inches, 155 pounds.
In the video one suspect wears a gray shirt, blue jeans, light blue gloves and a monkey face mask, while the other is wearing a red shirt, blue jeans, light blue gloves and a gorilla mask, according to the LAPD.
Anyone with information on the alleged robbers is asked to call police at 877-527-324
