Deputies Seek Cantonment Armed Robbery Suspect

September 3, 2015

Authorities are seeking information in the armed robbery of a Cantonment Tom Thumb during the early morning hours of August 25.

The suspect entered the store in the 300 block of South Highway 29 about 1:45 a.m. He was armed with a revolver, forcing the clerk to place money from the register into a plastic bag. The suspect was described as a black male wearing a camouflage hoodie with a black mask over his face. It is believed that he drove the silver vehicle pictured prior to the robbery.

Anyone with information as to his identify is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP or send an online tip at gulfcoastcrimestoppers.org.

These surveillance photos were released Wednesday by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

    Looking at the video of the robber of the other Tom Thumb, on W. Robts and 29, that guy appears to have walked out of the store in the same stride pattern as the one walking into this store…..

    I hope they catch this scum-thug. I do have sympathy for the clerks in these convenience stores. The guy is a real idiot…yeah, just park the “get-away” car right there in plain sight. Glad the clerks in both the Tom Thumb’s were not hurt in anyway. Hope the LEO’s catch this thug and he gets the strictest of sentences.
