Mission / Mid-Market: Two women, aged 26 and 23, were robbed and pistol-whipped early Thursday after one stepped out of their hotel room around 2 a.m., at the Travelodge at Market and Valencia. A masked man in a hoodie bound the one woman's hands and brought her back to her hotel room, where he pistol-whipped the other, and made off with cash, cell phones, and a Mac laptop. Police say the crime will be difficult to solve given the vague description of the suspect, who was masked. [Examiner]
