Lexington Police are investigating after a man, who says he just received thousands of dollars from his mother’s estate, was robbed of that money at a Lexington shopping center Tuesday morning.
The incident happened at the shopping center at the corner of Bryan Station Road and New Circle Road. The alleged victim, Tim Scenters, 52, claims he was walking across the parking lot near the Bryan Station Kroger when two young men, ages 18-20, asked him for a dollar. He says when he told them he didn’t have a spare dollar, one frisked him while the other insinuated he had a gun in his pocket. He claims the robbers found an envelope in his coat that had $7,000 in it, money he was going to deposit and use to find a place to live.

Scenters, who walks with a cane, says he was heading to get insurance at the State Farm office across the road when he was robbed. He said it was all the money he had in the world. “You all are young,” Scenters said about the robbers. “I’m old and disabled and it’s hard to get around. I wish you would return it. Not all of it, just some of it.”
