Deputies Release Sketch Of Suspect In Weekend Home Depot Robbery

January 21, 2010

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has released a composite sketch of the suspect in the weekend armed robbery of the Home Depot on Nine Mile Road.

homedepotsketch.jpgAt about 6:40 Sunday night, about 20 minutes before the store would normally close, a store employee said a masked man with a gun forced him into the manager’s office and ordered him to open the store’s vault.  The employee was unable to open the vault.

When a manager entered the office, the gunman forced him to open the vault. The robber fled the store with an undisclosed amount of money. The store manager and the employee were left behind in the manager’s office, their hands bound with zip ties.

The gunman was described as being about 6 feet tall, about 160 pounds and in his early 40’s. He was wearing a dark gray jacket, gray Dickies band pants, black gloves with “mechanic” written on them, and gray shoes with blue stripes.  He had a thin mustache.

Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

    A better question is how the robber found an employee to rob. He must have had a little vest on and the employee thought he worked there.

    Looks like Obama with a goofy hat and thin mustache. Or maybe Hillery, no after a better look it’s Harry Reid.

    the robber was only wearing the mask when he went into the vault, not before, and not after
