Public Release
The Fritch Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying the two suspects involved in a strong-arm robbery that occurred on Monday, November 1, 2021, at approximately 8:30pm at the Allsup’s convenience store, located at 206 E. Broadway in Fritch. The two unidentified individuals are described as: 1.) an African American female wearing all black and, 2.) an African American male, approximately 5’5”-5’10” in height, wearing black athletic-style shorts and a red hoodie. The red hoodie worn by the male subject had a white logo, appearing to be a Nike “Swoosh.”
The male subject entered the store and purchased an item while the female suspect remained outside of the store. The male subject exited the store and distracted the victim while the female subject forcibly pulled the donation bucket from the victim’s hands. Once these two individuals were in possession of the money bucket, they fled Westbound on Broadway (Highway 136) at a high rate of speed in an unknown make or model, dark colored four-door car.
The victim of this robbery was outside of the Allsup’s Convenience store collecting donations for a local charity and reports that approximately $75 had been collected prior to the robbery. Any information may be reported by calling the Fritch Police Department at 806-857-3490.
