More than forty police officers raided three separate Richmond convenience stores Tuesday morning.
For some patrons, like Donna Gipson who is wheelchair bound, The Shell Mart was her go-to convenience store.
“I have never heard anything about this store bad wise,” Gipson told LEX 18’s Richard Essex
Unfortunately, police had heared plenty of bad things about the operations and Tuesday morning they closed three convenience stores.

Police suspect the store owners have been buying and selling stolen property and fraudulently using food stamp benefits. Police were alerted to possible fraud by Kroger’s loss prevention unit after finding their products being re-sold in these convenience stores.
Police have not released the names or possible charges the convenience store owners may face. This story will be updated as more information is made available.
