FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Two armed robberies of the same Raceway

Shreveport Police need your help in finding two men who robbed the Raceway on Jewella on two different days.

The first man enters the store at 10:30 p.m. on June the 8th of this year.  Once in the store the suspect entered orders the employees and customers to not move. The Suspect then took the money from the register and the daily deposit from the rest of the day. Suspect then fled the store on foot and was last seen southbound on Southern Ave.  The suspect got away with an undetermined amount of money.

This suspect is described as a Black Male between 5’8”-5’10” with a Stocky build wearing a black hoodie, black mask, black pants and black gloves. 

The second robbery happened on June the 10th of this year.  Sometime in the afternoon a Black male walks into the same Raceway and attempts to break into the coin game that has several $100.00 dollar bills wrapped around packs of cigarettes or wrapped around rolled quarters. The suspect can't break glass so he attempts to rob business. When he can't get the cash register to open, he robs a patron.  The suspect rides off on bike.

Detectives need to talk to the man who was robbed on the 10th and we need the public's help in identifying both of the robbers.  

Information can be left with crimestoppers at 673-7373 or by logging onto the crimestoppers website at www.crimestoppersshreveportcaddo.com.
