The thief, who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s, entered the garage in the 3200 block of Euclid Avenue shortly before 10 a.m., threatened two employees with a gun and ordered them to lie on the floor, according to San Diego police.

He then took a wallet and cell phone from one of the victims before walking outside and stealing a black 2000 Isuzu sedan, which was parked nearby with the keys in the ignition, SDPD Sgt. Ray Battrick said.

The victims said the bandit was a roughly 5-foot-6-inch, 140-pound black man in blue jeans, a black hooded jacket or sweat shirt and a black-silver-and-gray ski cap.
