Long Beach Police: Help find "The Blond Bandit." Seven local stores hit by blue-eyed/gun flashing young adult

By Randy Economy
Long Beach/Bellflower/Lakewood Crime Scene

He's blond, blue eyed, wears glasses, looks like what some would call a "nerd," carries a gun, and has robbed as many as 7 local stores over the past two weeks.

The Long Beach Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a robbery suspect wanted in connection with a string of armed robberies to businesses occurring in the Long Beach area over the past three weeks.

Several businesses in Long Beach and one in Lakewood have been robbed since October 20, 2009. In each of the incidents, one suspect enters the business and demands cash while showing a handgun. Once he gets the cash, he exits the business and flees in a vehicle. It is unknown if the suspect is acting alone or with an accomplice.

The suspect has been described as a male White in his late teens or early twenties, 5'7" to 5'11" with a thin build, blue eyes, blond hair and eyeglasses.

The robberies have occurred at the following dates and locations:

10/20/09 Carson Street & Woodruff Avenue Food Establishment
10/27/09 Stearns & Palo Verde Avenue Book Store
10/27/09 Bellflower Blvd. & Carson Street Food Establishment
11/06/09 Willow Street & Bellflower Blvd. Food Establishment
11/09/09 Bellflower Blvd. & Carson Street Food Establishment
11/09/09 Anaheim Road & Studebaker Road Food Establishment
11/10/09 Willow Street & Bellflower Blvd. Food Establishment

Anyone who may have any information regarding these crimes is strongly encouraged to contact Robbery Detective Fermin Gonzalez at (562) 570-7464.

BTW...

I have dubbed this guy as the "Blond Bandit."

If you have a better name for this little felon, send me your suggestions to RREconomy@aol.com!

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
