September 8th, 2008, 7:38 pm · 16 Comments · posted by Katie McDevitt

Chandler police are searching for two men who forced two people down on the floor, including one with an infant, during a robbery Monday.

Police said both robbers were described as Hispanic. One is about 40 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall and heavy-set. His accomplice is in his early 20s, about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a thin build. Both were wearing a light-colored shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap.

Chandler police spokesman Detective David Ramer said the robbery occurred about 1 p.m. at Tania Discoteca, 1060 N. Arizona Ave.

The two men ordered a clerk and a customer, who was holding a child, onto the floor at gunpoint and stole less than $1,000. Police wouldn’t say exactly how much was stolen.

Ramer said he will release a sketch of the robbers when it becomes available.

  • Rachel says:

    Anybody surprised Doc is a bigot and a racist? you wear swastikas for jews and sheets for blacks, what are you wearing Doc?

  • STUPIDRACHEL says:

    IT IS A FACT MORON.. They are hispanic and targeted a hispanic business how is that bigot and racist.?. lemme guess you are hispanic… what are you wearing rachel . a sombrero and mariachi outfit?..

  • Clara says:

    Well gee Rachel, I AGREE with Doc, and so does every other person in AZ…..

    Why is it that if someone disagrees with your way of thinking about the illegals we are Racists and bigots?
    Well the news is, we can dislike the way the illegals are treating America without being raceists and bigots.

    What are you….a traitor to your own country? (if in fact you ARE a LEGAL CITIZEN) A do gooder for the cause even if it hurts your own Country?( if in fact you are in this country legally.) etc,etc,etc! ……See the name calling works both ways!

  • Rachel says:

    Doc? Clara? is this a theme? You agree with Doc? He didn’t make a statement to agree with ,he posed a question.

    “No not every other person agrees”…..LIAR

    His accomplice was a white guy, read the story BIGOT

    You do not even know my way way of thinking, any clod that assumes every one that commits a crime is a hispanic does more damage to the very foundation of the country. Look at what is written on the Statue of Liberty’s tablet.

    Circle your wagons, don your sheets, light your cross and fire up your ovens…..its the American way and ALL agree.

  • Sid Glass says:

    Clara, I’m in AZ and I don’t agree with Doc. I think that people who think like that are exactly that…bigots and racists. Where do you fit in? How are they hurting you individually?

  • Rick says:

    Yo..Rachel..maybe YOU need to read the article..

    “Police said both robbers were described as Hispanic”

    I read the story. This is what it said.

  • AuntFlo says:

    They were BOTH hispanic, Rachel. Why don’t you read the article?

  • AZ NATIVE says:

    So what?? The Baseline Shooters were white, so does that make EVERY white person a criminal?? NO!!
    To say that every hispanic is a criminal or illegal IS ignorant and racist.

    Yes I am Mexican, I have two graduate degrees, and NO I am not here illegally.

  • TurtleBreath says:

    LOL! I love the comments on this story!

  • gilbertdoolittle says:

    You people are dumb

  • Jack says:

    Maybe one was a light colored Hispanic. :-)

    Will this make everyone happy?

  • snackshack says:

    At least someone is doing the jobs Americans won’t do. Oh wait, what they did was wrong, wasn’t it?

  • Johnny On the Spot says:

    “you wear swastikas for jews and sheets for blacks, what are you wearing Doc?”

    Ummmmm. An MCSO uniform?

  • Neighbor says:

    Ok, so Doc, you aren’t scoring high points with anyone on any of the stories you comment on, but that probably doesn’t bother you. I wonder, what nationality are you? Should we assume that all of those who are of the same nationality are as ignorant as you? We have a large Hispanic population here, so yeah, there are going to be some unsavory characters among them. I think instead of focusing on the fact that they are Hispanic you should be more ticked at the CRIME! Scroll through the section, Hispanics aren’t the only ones who screw up! And yeah there are immigration issues that need to be dealt with, but that’s a different discussion. Also, nowhere in the article did it say that the two Hispanic men were ILLEGALS! There are plenty of good ol citizens who commit crimes too! Wow, and we wonder why the world is the way it is!!!!!
