Police say that a gas station robbery that happened on August 12, is very similar to the holdup that happened at the Thornton’s in Woodhill back in June.
“Because so many variables are similar, this very well may be the same person that’s committed multiple robberies,” said Detective Mark Thomas of the Lexington Police Department.
In both robberies the man is wearing camo headgear. In the first robbery the suspect is wearing a camo hat to attempt to cover his face, and in the second he is wearing a full, camo face mask.

The suspect has been reported as being very casual in both robberies, and he even stopped to count the cash in the most recent one.
“He kind of retreats back, the guy says immediately, ‘I want the cash,’ and then reaches down and from his waistband and pulls up a black hunting knife,” said Thomas.
Due to the knife and the camo, the police believe that the suspect probably has experience in the woods, and a possible drug problem.
“Anybody that knows him needs to step in and intervene and say look, this has gone too far,” said Thomas. “It’s one thing that he’s a drug addict, it’s something else if he’s actually knocking off gas stations. We need to get this guy some help right away.”
