Police in Forney have found one of the two men they think was behind a wild armed robbery last month.

The holdup began when two armed men first ordered a teenager and another child out of a car and into the store, where their parents were shopping, according to police.
"While they were inside the store they fired off a round into the ceiling. It didn't injure anybody but obviously to threaten and intimidate folks inside to hand over their valuables and so on" said Chief Mica Lunt.
Police made advances in the case when they police started comparing notes with other police departments they learned of similar robberies. The connections to Dixon and Mario Oliver, 19, were made.
While Dixon is still being held,Oliver is still on the loose with a crimestoppers reward for information leading to his arrest according to police.
