Call law enforcement if you see Nicholas Savieo or this Pathfinder

On August 15, 2018,  at about  2:00 a.m., officers  with the  Eureka  Police  Department responded to a  gas station on the 1700 block of 4th  Street for  the report of  an armed robbery  that had just  occurred. 

The  suspect was last seen walking  through  the alley  to the rear of the  business.  Officers searched  the  vicinity  but were  unable to locate  the suspect.   Upon review  of surveillance, it  was determined  the  suspect entered the business  armed with a knife  and pipe  and  immediately  attacked an  employee.  The  suspect then fled on foot with lottery  tickets.   The  employee  was not  injured during  the attack.

 From the surveillance, officers  were  able to identify  the suspect as Nicholas Savieo (32 of  Eureka). At about 3:40 a.m., officers responded to  a  gas station on the  1000 block of  Broadway  for an additional robbery.   A  male  suspect entered the  store  with a knife  attached to a stick and demanded money.   The  suspect  took the  employee’s  keys  and fled the  scene  in the employee’s  vehicle, a  white  1999 Nissan Pathfinder, CA license  plate  #4YUX106. 

 The suspect’s weapon and description matched the earlier description of Savieo, however; the identity  of the  second robbery  suspect has not  been  confirmed. 

There  is an  arrest warrant  out for  Savieo for  robbery,  assault  with a deadly  weapon, and false imprisonment.  Savieo is considered to be  armed and dangerous and should not  be contacted by  citizens.   The  white  Nissan Pathfinder  (4YUX106)  taken during  the second robbery  is still  outstanding  and is  listed as  a  stolen  vehicle.   

Contact law  enforcement immediately  if  you see  Savieo or  the stolen Nissan Pathfinder.
