The San Carlos Police Department has posted news of two armed robberies within the last two days.

1. On December 29, 2009 at approximately 7:45pm, an armed robbery occurred at the Best Buy store located at 1127 Industrial Road in San Carlos. See photo below.
2. On December 29, 2009 at approximately 9:45pm, an attempted armed robbery occurred at the Taqueria Mi Ranchito Mexican restaurant located at 660 Laurel Street in downtown San Carlos.

Surveillance cameras at Best Buy captured these images

The news releases describe two different male suspects in each incident.   Anyone with relevant information is asked to contact the San Carlos Police Department at (650) 802-4277.

One wonders if on the heels of the of the KTVU story that two armed robberies occur a week later, and on the same day.

San Jose police have launched a pilot project equipping officers with head-mounted cameras to record contacts with civilians.

Officers will activate the cameras, about the size of a Bluetooth device and attached by a headband above the ear, every time they respond or make contact with a person. At the end of the officer’s shift, the recording will be downloaded to a central server.
