Posted on by

A 15-year-old boy was robbed and beaten unconscious in Pacific Grove Friday night, police said.
Two boys were arrested and police are seeking two others in connection with the attack on a 15-year-old boy. Officers said a search warrant was served on one suspect’s residence.

The victim was walking at 10:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of Ransford Avenue when four teenage boys in a vehicle stopped, got out and began hitting him with their fists, officers reported, holding the victim and then knocking him to the ground. Then the assailants kicked the 15-year-old in the back and head, police reported, and robbed him of his coat, shoes and cash.
The four assailants are all believed to be residents of the Monterey Peninsula, police said.

The Bulls***in reported this as a drug deal gone wrong. Speaking of, where is Nick Gore these days anyway?

Two masked men robbed a store clerk at gunpoint in Monterey at 7:04 p.m. Friday. Monterey police Sgt. Jeff Jackson said the men pointed a handgun at the clerk of Glass Roots, 765 Lighthouse Ave. The clerk cooperated, Jackson said, while the men took an undisclosed amount of cash, damaged some store property and ran out the back door. The employee waited in a storeroom for the men to leave before calling police.

When a business district sinks as low as the Lighthouse Avenue corridor has, an increase in violent crime is not a surprise.

Drug paraphernalia shops, tattoo shops, karate ‘schools’, adult bookstores, massages, stop & rob markets, etc. Lower standards bring lower lifeforms..
