Armed suspects rob convenience store in Pismo Beach, in jail

December 6, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

Two men are in jail after they allegedly robbed a 7-Eleven in Pismo Beach on Saturday afternoon.

Shortly before 1:30 p.m., the two men began shoplifting at the convenience store while one of the thieves pointed a handgun at the clerk. The thieves then fled the scene.

With the help of the city’s license plate reading cameras, officers were able to locate the getaway vehicle in the downtown area a short time after the robbery.

Officers then arrested two men: Nathaniel Ray Lemus, 20, from Los Banos and Rigoberto Cisneros Lopez, 22, from Winton.

Officers booked Lemus in the San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of robbery, carrying a loaded firearm, committing a felony while armed, resisting arrest and mutiple out of county warrants. He remains in custody with his bail set at $109,000.

Officers booked Cisneros Lopez in the SLO County Jail on charges of felon in possession of ammunition, bringing a controlled substance for sale into a jail, possession controlled substance, shoplifting, and disobeying a court order. He is no longer in custody.

Unwarranted mass surveillance does the cops job for them and then they let him go… Great work boys! we know how big and hard to patrol Pismo beach is! Their downtown is huge like a city! wow you guys are lazy, to drive the block a few times and maybe this time don’t let the criminals go

Be strong brother . California penal code, is a joke. You will be released in no time . Remember you are the victim in this situation. The White Colonial System (WCS) forced you to act the way you did . Follow the science.

Something wrong with this sentence: “Officers booked Cisneros Lopez in the SLO County Jail on charges of felon in possession of ammunition, bringing a controlled substance for sale into a jail, possession controlled substance, shoplifting, and disobeying a court order. He is no longer in custody.”

Plus their admission of using “license plate readers” loom up flock cameras and the dystopian nightmare they have created. These cameras are facial recognition cameras owned by a random company making millions upon millions to sell your data.

Nope. You read it correctly. This is the justice system in a radical extremist lib dem state. Ahhh…..the good life under dem leadership where you can commit multiple felonies and within 4 hours you are back on the streets. Isn’t it great!

The bail stuff is a liberal failure I agree but my comment on mass surveillance and flock is very much a bipartisan problem where both sides are lining their pockets while we get our faces uploaded to questionable databases with questionable parties able to view that data. What if a psycho lib decides to lock up republicans? It doesn’t matter your politics this is about privacy rights.

With those charges I’m shocked our DA and sheriff let the felon “Rigoberto Cisneros Lopez” out so quickly… Two tier policing in this county

The courts set the bail.
