Police arrest man for two business robberies

Media broadcasts of surveillance video from a robbery that occurred over the weekend have helped Shreveport police nab the suspected robber.

Police arrested Shawn E. Gilkey, 35, of Shreveport after police received a tip from someone who recognized him from the video.

Gilkey is charged with armed robbery of the Circle K store in the 1000 block of Shreveport-Barksdale Highway and with the armed robbery of the Chevron Station in the 3000 block of Highland Avenue.

Both incidents occurred July 3. The Circle K was robbed at 2:38 a.m., while the Chevron was robbed at 6:16 a.m.

Gilkey is also charged with one count of unauthorized use of a movable. Before his arrest, he reportedly was on parole from Denver, Colorado.
