A Pacifica couple lured people with the promise of an iPod for sale on Craiglist then pepper sprayed and robbed them as the victims showed up to make the transaction, according to Daly City police.
At approximately 12:41 p.m. Wednesday, April 7, Daly City police arrested James Limos, 31, and his wife Elizabeth Limos, 30, following a traffic stop in connection with an armed robbery that occurred earlier that day. A similar robbery took place in Daly City, Monday April 5 in the area of Southgate Avenue and Palmcrest Drive. In both robberies, the couple allegedly contacted the victims who were selling their Apple iPhones and iPads on Craigslist, according to Daly City police.
During the investigation it was learned that the suspects used the same cellular telephone to contact the victims. When they met to complete the transactions the victims were pepper sprayed. The cell phone used to contact the victims and the pepper spray was in the possession of the suspects at the time of their arrests. Both suspects were charged with two counts of armed robbery, conspiracy, possession of Methamphetamine and parole violation. They were booked into the San Mateo County Jail in Redwood City, according to police.
Investigative work by San Bruno Detectives McMullan and Valiente in collaboration with Police Crime Analyst Jennifer Carr and Daly City police Officers Kett and Brennan led to the identification and arrest of the suspects, according to police.
