Shreveport Police detectives are searching for a local man in connection with three robberies that occurred in Shreveport’s Broadmoor neighborhood yesterday.

At approximately 4:10 p.m. on February 15, 2010, Shreveport Police patrol officers responded to a robbery in the 100 block of Southfield Road. Upon arrival, officers contacted an elderly male victim who reported that as he picked up pecans in his front yard, a white male suspect approached him and demanded money. The victim told officers the suspect never displayed a weapon, but did threaten his life. The victim gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of cash and the suspect fled the scene of the crime.

An hour later, police responded to another robbery report in the 300 block of Levin Lane. Officers contacted an elderly male victim there who advised that a white male suspect had knocked on his door stating he was out of gas. The victim told officers that he was giving the suspect a ride to a gas station when the suspect pulled out a black handgun and demanded money. The victim gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of money and the suspect jumped out of the vehicle.

At approximately 7:30 p.m., patrolmen responded to the 600 block of E. Southfield Road relative to an attempted robbery. Upon arrival, officers contacted a female victim who reported that she was in her carport removing groceries from her vehicle when she was approached by a white male suspect armed with a box cutter. The victim told officers that the suspect grabbed her purse and a struggle ensued. The victim’s husband came outside and the suspect fled the scene of the crime without the purse.

None of the victims were injured during these incidents. Detectives were immediately notified and began working to identify and apprehend this suspect. Investigators have been able to identify the man they believe is responsible for these crimes and have now obtained a warrant for his arrest. Police are looking for 34 year old Ronnie Bishop of the 8200 block of Paula Kay Place in Shreveport.

***THANK YOU***

Police say Crime Stoppers tips played a pivotal role in their investigation into the disappearance of 12 year old Amber White. "We would like to thank all the citizens out there that called in those tips who helped us locate the missing little girl," said Shreveport Police Chief Will Shaw at a press conference Wednesday morning.

Of the eight that came in following Amber's disappearance on Sunday, Sgt. Taliaferro says one did pan out. "I think the initial call actually seeing her get into the vehicle actually catapulted the investigation."

The tipster will receive a reward. "We'll pay as much out as we can," Sgt. Taliaferro says. The Crime Stoppers program calculates the amount, based on a point system, through a formula calculated by specialized software. The factors are chosen from a series of drop-down menus, taking everything from the seriousness of the alleged crime, the number of arrests resulting and the risk to the tipster, who can get as much as $1,000 for their information if it leads to an arrest.

Even though Crime Stoppers tips are credited with helping to bring Amber White home, the search for more suspects in her disappearance continues. "The investigation is still ongoing so we welcome any other information that people may have that they know about the case that we just don't have those facts yet."

Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization, run by a board that has the flexibility to increase the rewards in certain circumstances. It's funded by private and business donations and a state law that requires a portion of court fees to go towards advertising and reward money.
