SALT LAKE CITY -- Salt Lake City police hope the offer of a $500 reward will lead them to the man believed responsible for at least nine convenience store robberies over the past month.
"There's got to be someone out there who has information on who this person is, who maybe knows him personally and is aware of some of the dealings that's he's been involved in," said Detective Richard Chipping, SLCPD. "We ask that they just come forward and talk to us. They can talk to us anonymously if they prefer, but any information on this type of situation would be helpful."
Police described the suspect as a white male weighing approximately 150 pounds, around 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall. He has been seen walking away from the robberies, but police said he may also be getting into a vehicle.
According to a press release from SLCPD, the suspect initially left his face uncovered, but has since started using a black covering over his face to conceal his identity. Detectives also said the suspect appeared to have brandished a handgun during some of the robberies.
