STOCKTON — An armed robber fired gunshots into an occupied taco truck in northeast Stockton on Wednesday evening as his accomplice took its cash register, police reported.

The employees inside the taco truck were not injured in the shooting that occurred at Hammer Lane and Holman Road shortly after 7 p.m.

Another armed robbery of a taco truck at that same location was reported by police on April 18. No shots were fired in that robbery.

The two robbers in Wednesday's incident — last seen running west from the scene — were both described as males. The gunman stood 5 feet 8 and weighed 165 pounds, last seen wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. The accomplice was 5 feet 5, last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans, according to police.

The amount of money stolen was not disclosed in the report.

Taco trucks have often been the target of armed holdups throughout the city. In August of last year, operator Jose Cobian was shot at least one time in the upper body during a midday robbery of his popular La Perla de Occidente Tacos truck on East Bianchi Road near West Lane.

On April 10, a gunman using a shotgun fired into an occupied taco truck on North Filbert and East Fremont streets. No one was reported injured in that incident.
