The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office is seeking public assistance in capturing an armed robbery suspect believed to be responsible for a crime in Calimesa last month. According to a news release from the Sheriff's Office, the incident took place on December 4, 2025, when deputies were alerted to the robbery at approximately 11:00 p.m. on the 1100 block of Calimesa Boulevard.
Upon their arrival, authorities were briefed that a man had entered the business, fired his weapon, and subsequently demanded cash from an employee all before escaping towards Interstate 10 and this sequence of events unfolded before deputies could intervene, albeit thankfully without any injuries reported. The individual in question was described as a Hispanic male adult fitted in dark blue jeans paired with a black jacket that features an orange hood, his visage obscured by a black motorcycle helmet adorned with the phrase “Pedo Hunter”. His chosen getaway vehicle was described as a dark-colored motorcycle.
In their effort to apprehend the suspect, officials have shared a sketch of the man they believe committed the robbery. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office is requesting anyone with information that may lead to an identification to get in touch with Investigator Lara at the Cabazon Sheriff’s Station directly by calling (951) 922–7100 or to contact the Riverside County Sheriff’s Dispatch at (951) 776–1099.
While the search continues, the Sheriff's Office remains hopeful that community members will provide vital clues to track down the suspect, urging residents to reach out with any potential leads, even as the queries pour in and the crime scene echoes with the urgency of justice not yet served. For additional details regarding the case or for media-related inquiries, the Sheriff’s Office asks individuals to contact the Media Information Bureau.
