Background and community context

Armed robberies in commercial areas often prompt rapid investigative actions including review of surveillance footage, witness interviews, and neighborhood canvassing by detectives.

Residents and businesses in the area are encouraged to check any privately owned video systems for footage that could assist investigators.
