Wildomar yard sale targeted by armed robber

WILDOMAR, Calif.

Authorities received a call around 12:16 p.m. Saturday about an armed robbery at a home in the 32900 block of Crescent Avenue.

The woman who was holding the yard sale told police the suspects arrived in a black two-door sedan and parked right in front of her home. A man exited the car and looked around the sale.
