Dade County
Sheriff Ray Cross reported last week two break-ins at convenience stores in the
county.
On Jan. 16 at
approximately 4:20 a.m. the Sheriff’s department was called to Trenton
Convenience and Gas on Highway 136 west on Sand Mountain.
Approximately
15 minutes later they were called to the B-Mart on Highway 301 at the Alabama
state line.
Someone had
used a hammer to break the glass on the front door and entered the business and
took a small amount of change.
After reviewing
the video it appears that the subject is a white male around 5’7 or 8, weighing
approximately 200 to 215 pounds.
It is suspected
that the same individual may have been involved in both robberies.
The Sheriff’s
department has asked anyone that has seen any suspicious behavior at either
location to call.
At press time
the investigation was continuing.
