Police Make Arrest After String Of Armed Robberies In OKC, Del City

Police arrested one person in connection with a string of metro armed robberies.  

Investigators said the robberies happened at four convenience stores in Oklahoma City and Del City.

Police said they first got the call from the 7-Eleven near May Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard around 4 a.m. November 1.

A search warrant shows the store clerk said two men walked in and pulled out a gun asking where the money is. She ran out the back door, as the two suspects opened the cash register and took what was inside.

Just an hour later, police got another call, this time, from a 7-Eleven store near Northwest Expressway.

Reports said a woman was putting air in her tires when two men walked up behind her and "put a gun to the back of her head while demanding the keys to the vehicle."

The suspects got in the car and drove away. Police were able to identify one of the suspects on surveillance video and he was seen wearing the same clothes as the last robbery.

Later that morning, police got another armed robbery call, this time in southeast Oklahoma City. Two men once again entered a store and pointed a gun at the clerk demanding money. They took it from the register and drove off.

The next night, the suspects drove to Del City and robbed a dispensary, taking $18,000 worth of medical marijuana.

Just after 11 p.m. the same night, an officer spotted the stolen vehicle. Officers pursued the car until it crashed out near SW 22nd and Blackwelder. The driver, who was the same person identified in surveillance video, was arrested. Another person in the car got away.

The second suspect involved has not been identified or arrested yet.
