The Columbus Division of Police has issued a call to the public, seeking assistance in an aggravated robbery that shook a local business on Lockbourne Rd. earlier in September. The department turned to social media, detailing the harrowing incident that unfolded last Friday afternoon. According to the post on their official Facebook page, at around 5:10 p.m., an armed suspect barged into the premises, brandishing a handgun and demanding money from the terrified clerk.
In a chilling encounter, the suspect not only compelled the clerk to empty the till but also escorted them to the back of the store at gunpoint, where he proceeded to steal additional goods. After the invasive ransack, he escaped the scene, leaving behind a trail of fear and unresolved questions. Anyone with insights into the identity of this perpetrator is urged to reach out to the Columbus Police Robbery Unit at 614-645-4665, and there’s the option to submit tips anonymously via Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 614-461-TIPS (8477)…
