The robber enters the store.

Glenn County Observer

A check with the Orland Police Department late Wednesday morning indicated that there is nothing new to report in the case of the June 10 armed robbery of the Orland Speedway station of Hoff Way.

No suspect has been arrested for the crime. It is reasonable that following the robbery, the suspect jumped on the freeway and left the area.

On June 14, The Observer published information from an OPD press release that asked the public for help regarding the robbery. The Observer piece stated:

“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.

Holding a gun in his left hand, the robber stands at the counter of the convenience store.

“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….

“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.”
