More Info Released On Century Convenience Store Burglary

February 24, 2010

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has released more information about the weekend burglary of a Century convenience store  that we first reported yesterday.

Deputies were dispatched to a reported prowler at Moye’s Stateline Food Mart at 9010 North Century Boulevard just before 3 a.m. Sunday. When deputy James Kelley arrived, he found the front door of the business broken out. About the same time, the sheriff’s office received a call from a resident who lives just to the east of Moye’s — giving her a vantage point over the rear the store.

The resident told dispatchers that she would see two people dressed in black run from behind the store toward the front of the building. She she that she observed a small two door car, possibly silver or blue parking behind a nearby church. The witness told deputies that the two individuals came running around the back of the store again, behind the church and continued on foot east on Zion Street. The witness said the car also traveled east on Zion Street and disappeared from her view.

Deputy Kelley wrote in his report that he observed lottery tickets had been pulled off a roll, and some were still on the floor behind the counter. He also observed that a safe had been broken into. A store employee found a stack of money in front of the store that she believed to be the next day’s till.  The cash was returned to the store’s owner.

No arrests have been made in the case at the time. Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at  (850) 436-9620.
