DETROIT (WWJ) – Police are searching for a man who they say robbed a pair of dollar stores on Detroit’s west side Friday night in the span of one hour.
Just after 7 p.m. Friday the suspect entered a Family Dollar store at the corner of Greenfield and Plymouth Roads. He then pulled out a gun, walked behind the counter, took an undisclosed amount of cash and then fled the scene.
Then around 7:40 p.m. the same suspect hit another store about three miles north. Officials say he entered a Dollar General at McNichols and Hubbell, pulled out a gun and announced he was robbing the store, according to police officials.
The suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the scene in a blue Chevy Impala with a gray stripe.
Police describe the suspect as about 6-feet-tall with his hair in locs with blond tips. He was last seen wearing an all-black Jordan jumpsuit and red shoes.
Authorities released photos of the suspect and car he was seen fleeing the second robbery in.
Police are asking anyone who recognizes the suspect or knows something about the robberies to call the Detroit Police Department’s 2nd Precinct at 313-596-5240 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
As always, all Crime Stoppers tipsters will remain 100% anonymous.
