Police search for suspect in Ahwatukee store robbery

All right, it is Silent Witness Saturday. Detective Mike Fisher joining us with a new case that they need help solving. Good morning. Yeah, good morning, Ty, and thanks as always for the invite. This case that we have today is actually a robbery that occurred over a year ago, late September, in the area of 47th Street and Chandler Boulevard around after 8 p.m. And what happened was we're watching the video. The suspect walks in. He's covered up. He's got his face covered. he selects items off the shelf and as he's trying to walk out he gets confronted by the employees and he tells them that he has a gun and they just backed off and let him go and here's a good photo of this person just wearing a long sleeve shirt his face is covered he's got glasses on and he's described as a black male approximately 20 to 30 years old 5'8 250 pounds and the nice thing about this case here i mean yeah he did get away with stuff and the employees they backed off i mean you can tell he he knew exactly what he was going to do he had his plan and he went directly to the shelf and selected the items that i guess he needed or he wanted and there we have them right there and anyone with information we're offering a reward of up to a thousand dollars here and And anyone with info can call 480-WITNESS, sign a witness, or 480-TESTIGAL for Spanish. You know, I think what's interesting is you said that this would have been a misdemeanor. Excuse me, but the fact that he said that he had a gun is going to up those charges. Yeah, as soon as, because in this case, he mentioned the gun. He never showed a gun. But we're still treating this as a felony. It's a robbery because he mentioned the gun. And can you imagine the employees there at that time? as soon as you hear gun i mean most people you know they they become more aware but this is exactly what we ask the employees or any business owner to do to not take action it's only items let them take whatever they have let them go just be a great witness and call the police and file a report because sometimes businesses they don't make a report and we need to make reports when this happens perfect all right well detective again thank you so much a 480 witness if you'd like to take a look at this case or any of the other cases that we have covered we have them on our website right now foxtenphoenixdotcom
