On February 22, 2018 at about 11:00 pm deputies from the Franklin County Sheriff's Office responded to an alarm at the Dollar General store in Villa Ridge located at 177 Hwy AT. Upon arrival they discovered the front door glass had been busted out by a brick. After clearing the building an employee was called to the scene to review surveillance footage. They discovered a white male wearing a black or dark colored jacket and shirt, blue jeans, and black or dark colored shoes entered the store and stole beer and cigarettes from within. Later, just before 1:00 a.m. on February 23, 2018 deputies responded to another alarm at the Dollar General store in Robertsville located at 7372 Hwy O. Upon arrival it was discovered the front glass at that store was busted out by a brick as well. A review of the surveillance footage revealed the same person of interest from the Villa Ridge Dollar General store burglary. The Franklin County Sheriff's Office is asking for assistance from the community in helping identify the suspect. If anyone has information regarding these crimes they are encouraged to contact the Franklin County Sheriff's Office Detective Division at (636) 583-2560.
