Two Charged in Attempted Rolex Robbery in Walnut Creek

Martinez, Calif. –  The Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office files multiple felony charges against two men for an attempted armed robbery in Walnut Creek.

34-year-old Shaune Walter Rogers, Jr., and 33-year-old David Lopez were involved in the attempted robbery at the Ygnacio Plaza Shopping Center in Walnut Creek around 4:00 pm on August 11, 2022.

The victims are a married couple who were returning to their vehicle after eating at a local restaurant in the Plaza. Rogers, Jr. and Lopez approached the couple with handguns drawn and demanded a silver and gold Rolex watch from the male victim. After a struggle, both Rogers, Jr, and Lopez repeatedly struck the victim on the head with their weapons. He was treated for his injuries at John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek.

While the suspects were attempting to flee in a stolen car, the female victim used her SUV to block them from leaving. Her vehicle was rammed several times before Rogers, Jr and Lopez drove off. Walnut Creek Police — with assistance from a Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office helicopter — were able to find and arrest the suspects about a mile from the scene of the crime.

Both suspects have been booked in the Martinez Detention Facility and await arraignment.
