FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Circle K beer thief sought

Shreveport Police need the public's help in identifying a man who robbed a store of two cases of beer.

The incident occurred at 4:25 a.m. on April 22 at the Circle K store located at 325 W. 70th Street. He originally asked the clerk for gas, but the clerk said he couldn't give him any. The suspect then went to the beer cooler. When the clerk approached him, he pulled a gun and then stole two cases of Coors Light.

Photos from surveillance video at the store shows the robber very clearly, so it is hoped someone will recognize him.

He is described as a black male, 6'1" tall, medium skin tone, wearing an orange shirt, blue jeans and a low hair style. He had tattoos on both forearms that looked like bricks. He was armed with a semi-automatic handgun.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Russell Ross at 673-6955.

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