SAN PEDRO, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles police are hoping surveillance video of two men robbing a store with a shotgun in San Pedro can help bring in tips from the public.

On March 27, the two men walked in to a convenience store in the 1500 block of North Gaffey Street in San Pedro.

While one man brandished a shotgun, the other jumped over the counter as they ordered a store clerk to open the cash register. They took money from two registers as well as store merchandise and then fled on foot.

Police described the first suspect as a black male, about 25 years old, 6 foot 2 inches tall and weighing about 200 pounds. He was wearing a gray beanie hat, black hooded sweatshirt, a white T-shirt, white gloves, black and white basketball shorts and black sneakers.

The second suspect is described as a black male, about 22 years old, 6 feet tall and weighing about 180 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded sweater, dark gloves, black pants and black and white sneakers.

LAPD asked anyone with information about the suspects to call Harbor Detective Acevedo at (310)726-0675 or anonymous tips can be phoned in to (877)527-3247 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.
