Cincinnati Police Search for Armed Robbery Suspect after Convenience Store Heists

CINCINNATI, Ohio — The Cincinnati Police Department is investigating a pair of armed robberies targeting two convenience stores that occurred less than a mile apart within hours of each other.

According to police reports, the first incident took place when a male suspect entered a local convenience store, brandished a handgun, and threatened the store clerk. The suspect demanded money from the register and fled the scene shortly after receiving cash. A second store in the immediate vicinity was also targeted in a similar fashion, prompting investigators to look into whether the two incidents are linked to the same perpetrator.

Following the robberies, law enforcement officials released surveillance photographs of the suspect in hopes that the public can assist in identifying the individual. The images capture a man confronting staff at gunpoint.

No injuries were reported during either robbery. Anyone with information regarding the suspect’s identity or the incidents is asked to contact the Cincinnati Police or Crimestoppers at 513-352-3040.
