ALAMEDA — Two waitresses were mugged Tuesday night just after finishing their shift in the city’s West End, the same neighborhood where a woman was killed outside a restaurant earlier this month.

The robbery happened about 10:15 p.m. in the 700 block of Pacific Avenue, where the women were confronted by between four and six suspects who pulled up in two vehicles, police said.

One woman, 59, was struck in the face by an object — possibly a bottle — and knocked to the ground before her purse was stolen. The second woman, 62, was also forced to the ground and her purse pulled from her shoulder.

A detailed description of the suspects and their vehicles was not available. The victims described them as males between 17 to 20 years old.

The robbery follows an attempted robbery the night of April 13 that left a 61-year-old woman seriously injured in the same neighborhood.

Cindy Le died later at hospital following the confrontation outside the Pho Anh Dao restaurant at 1919 Webster St. Le is believed to have been affiliated with the restaurant. A man, 28, also suffered from head injuries during the attempted robbery.

Surveillance video captured the incident in the restaurant parking lot the night of April 13 at Webster and Atlantic avenues just before midnight.
