The Orland Police Department is asking for help from the public in identifying the suspect in the armed robbery of the Speedway convenience story on Hoff Way early Sunday morning.
At about 3:33 a.m. on Sunday, June 10, Orland police officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Speedway gas station and convenience store, 1185 Hoff Way.
Responding officers confirmed that a robbery had occurred.
The suspect is a middle-aged man who entered the store, brandished a handgun, and demanded money.
He fled the area in an unknown direction with an undisclosed amount of cash.
In its press release sent out late Thursday afternoon, the Orland Police Department included two photographs of the suspect, apparently taken from the convenience store’s security camera.
This reporter for The Observer notes that in one of the photos, the suspect is holding the handgun in his left hand, which strikes the reporter as slightly odd unless the suspect is left-handed.

Two calls were made late Friday morning to the Orland Police Department to ask whether it is a realistic possibility the suspect is indeed left-handed.
Unfortunately, neither call was answered by a living human being.
Anyone with information regarding the incident or suspect identity is asked to contact Officer Ryan Martindale, Case #24-0344, at the Orland Police Department, 530-865-1616.
