BROWARD COUNTY, Florida — An armed robber with a specific MO targeted two Pompano Beach gas stations in four days. Detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying the, apparently, civic-minded robber caught on security video.
On November 4, an unidentified male entered the Liberty Gas Station convenience store with something covering his face. He pointed a black handgun at the clerk and told him to put all the money into a bag. He forced the clerk and a customer to get on the ground while he fled the store.
Just a few days later on November 8, the same robber, this time wearing a red T-shirt with the words “Vote yes for quality education” printed on the front, entered the Mobil Gas Station convenience store. The brazen criminal once again brandished a black gun and covered his face with what appears to be a stocking cap. True to form, he demanded the money be put in a bag, made the clerk lay on the ground and fled.
In both instances, the robber fled in a dark-colored car he parked away from the store. Detectives are searching for a black male, about 5’6” tall and weighing about 200 lbs. with a stocky build.
Anyone with additional information may contact Det. Trevor Goodwin at (954) 321-4275. -Broward Sheriff
