OCSO SEEKS ARMED ROBBER
The Okaloosa
County Sheriff's Office is investigating an armed robbery that took place
shortly after 10 a.m. this morning at the Top Dollar Pawn Shop, 745 Beal
Parkway.
A tall white
male wearing a dark knit cap, black jacket, and light-colored pants walked in
armed with a black revolver and demanded money from the clerk. He then took some
cash and left the scene in a light green metallic, mid-size sedan.
The clerk says
the man had something pulled up to cover the bottom part of his face, but
appeared to have scarring on his forehead.
Anyone with
information on the crime is asked to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff's
Office at 850-651-7400 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS.
