LEX 18 was on scene when an SUV matching the description in several recent robberies was impounded by Lexington police.
Police confirm that the driver of that SUV was taken into custody in the investigation of several robberies which occurred Monday morning and Thursday afternoon.
Images of a dark colored SUV were captured on surveillance photos outside the Cash Express on New Circle Road, the Cash Express on Versailles Road and the Check Into Cash in Frankfort during armed robberies that occurred at each location.

Friday afternoon, Lexington detectives tracked it to the rear of the Catalina Motel on New Circle Road. That’s where staff worked to get the man believed to be the driver of the car out of the room where he was staying.
In each of the robberies, clerks described a man armed with a gun and wearing a hoodie pulled something over his face, jumped the counter and ran off with the cash.
Officials tell LEX 18 that a man matching that description also robbed a motel in Nicholasville Thursday morning as well. It’s unclear what charge, if any, the driver of the vehicle currently faces.
