At about 10:51pm Thursday, Turlock Police responded to an armed robbery that had just occurred at Motel 6 in the 200 block of S. Walnut Road.
The caller was the clerk who reported a bald and shirtless guest had just run by the office stating he’d been robbed at gunpoint, before continuing to run southbound on S. Walnut Road.

The victim stated he’d been in his room when an unknown suspect entered it and robbed him of $350 at gunpoint.
