The first robbery occurred at approximately 2:30 p.m. at a business in the 500 block of Central Avenue. A male patron inside the establishment was approached by the suspect who entered, brandished a handgun, and demanded the victim’s necklace at gunpoint.
The second robbery occurred at approximately 9:10 p.m. in the 200 block of South 10th Street where the victims were barbecuing with a group of family members and friends. The suspect, who had earlier passed by the barbecue and observed the event, returned, brandishing a firearm and demanding the belongings of two male victims. Two necklaces and a bracelet, with a total value of $8,500.00, were stolen from the first victim, and a wallet containing $30.00 and a bank debit card was stolen from the second victim.
