An employee of a Carlsbad, California Zumiez action mall store was robbed at gun point on Friday evening in the parking lot of the Westfield Plaza Camino Real, according to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The employee told authorities that the suspects were wearing “wrestling-type” masks over their faces and were carrying large semi-automatic handguns. They ran northbound through the parking lot of the shopping center, located at 2525 El Camino Real.
The robbers got away with the employee’s personal property and a Zumiez bank deposit. This is probably one of the reason’s locals call it “The Ghetto Mall.”

Isn’t it ” murder mall ” ?
Was it just an “employee” bringing the deposit or the manager? I’ve never worked at Zumiez but I did at plenty other major retail stores. What I learned, was to reduce the chance of having the deposit “stolen” was to keep it in the hands of a responsible manager. Not to say that employees are not responsible, but having a manager who puts extra time and energy into their job will have a less of a chance of having the deposit “stolen”.
HENSE THE NAME:::::They refer to it as “MUGGERS MALL ” also !!!! so Tr you aren’t far off -if not another key name for a place that is sketchy.What’s UP CArlsbad PD? your town is sooo fluffy south and west,why the first mall in North County SD history- having the worst rep? The way the Police respond to things(x3 ) you would think they would be doing hotlaps in the parking lot looking for masked people.that mall is notorious for theft in the parking lots.
