It seems that Fairfield has a serial knife-wielding robber after two more businesses were robbed by a suspect matching that of the one who hit the Family Dollar a couple of weeks ago.
On Friday evening, September 8th, at about 9:45 p.m., a black male wearing a black hoodie, black bandana as a mask, and black pants, entered the Exxon Gas Station next to Taco Bell/KFC and demanded money from the register while holding a knife.
The following night, at 8:40 p.m., someone matching the same description hit the Fred’s Dollar Store, taking money from the register and the safe.
Luckily, no one was injured in either of these incidents.
Fairfield Chief of Police, Kenny Bulger, states that it seems as if all three cases were potentially perpetrated by the same thief based on visual descriptions given by employees of the three businesses.
“At this point, we are unable to identify the guy; but are currently waiting for surveillance footage from each business to compare so we can determine if it is, in fact, the same person in each case,” says Chief Bulger.
If you have any information on any of these cases, please contact the Fairfield Police Department at 903-389-3901.
