Group of teens carry out 7 armed robberies on Fresno streets
Fresno Police say they carried out 7 armed robberies over a 2-day period, targeting random people walking alone.

Crimestoppers and Fresno Police need your help solving a series of armed robberies that happened over a two-day period.

On May 15 and May 16, the suspects went after random people in Fresno walking alone - taking anything they could get - including purses and cell phones.

A total of seven people were robbed, including a street vendor.

Police say the suspects were armed with a gun during two of the robberies.

They also used a Taser and a knife.

Something to look out for - the suspects stalked their victims before robbing them.

Police are still searching for two of the suspects - 19-year-old Eric Gomez and a 14-year old.

18-year-old Dallas Esquivel was arrested shortly after the crime spree.

He was already on probation for stealing from pizza delivery drivers three years ago.
