Update: Reward Offered For Info On Cell Phone Store Robbery Suspect

One of the two suspects wanted for last week’s armed robbery of an East Redding cell phone store has been captured, and a reward is available for the other man. At 6 O’clock last Thursday night two men walked into the Metro PCS Store on Hartnell Avenue at School Street, one of them brandishing a handgun. They demanded and received cash before they fled. Footage from a camera at a nearby business led investigators to identify them as 53-year-old Dennis Chandler and 55-year-old James Patrick Alsip. Chandler has been arrested 42 times in Shasta County since 2001 and Alsip 32 times since 1992. On Saturday afternoon Chandler contacted Redding Police, reportedly saying he wanted to surrender. He was taken into custody at the Tucker Oaks Golf Course off Churn Creek Road. Investigators say he admitted to them his involvement in the robbery and he was booked into jail with bail set at over a Half-Million Dollars. James Alsip is still at large and is considered armed and dangerous. A $1500 reward is offered for anonymous tips at 243-2319 or scsecretwitness.com. His photo is on our Facebook page.
