A man struck a Grays Ferry sporting goods store twice within two months.
The offender entered Golden Sports, 3005 Grays Ferry Ave., at 7:09 p.m. Dec. 15 and shook the owner’s hand at which time the businessman recognized him from an Oct. 27 robbery, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. As he tried to race out of the store, the thief pulled him by his shirt and shoved him back behind the register. He then pulled out a knife and ordered the victim to open the register. He took about $120, but demanded more cash, so the owner added $80 from his pocket.
The perpetrator, who was described as black with a light complexion, age 25 to 30, 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10; having a medium build; and wearing a green hoody, strolled out of the store in an unknown direction.
He is believed to be the same culprit of the fall robbery in which he held the owner at gunpoint and stole $500, Tolliver said.
