Early Morning Molino Tom Thumb Robbery Under Investigation

March 26, 2021

An early morning robbery at the Molino Tom Thumb store is under investigation.

A man walked into the store about 1:12 a.m., pushed the clerk and took cigarettes, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, before fleeing in a white sedan.

The suspect was described only as a white male wearing a blue shirt and dark shorts. He did not display a weapon, and the clerk was not injured.

“We are following leads right now,” Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Commander Andrew Hobbs said.

    yes there is alot more than that going on in our town. When prepared law enforcement should do a really big clean sweep not that it will last. Drugs are a big factor as well as 2 bars that are occupied by people every day. Drunk drivers every weekend. . It really is sad to see this town with so much history go to waste because of drugs and alcohol. God bless us all. Pray for wisdom and do better for yourself. Myself included.

    Well, since you CAN grow your own tobacco, I guess the “fed-up felon” is going to face some consequences for being a lazy criminal.

    Do not pass “Go.”

    If they don’t already, Tom Thumb company needs to pay their employees hazardous pay, for stuff like this.

    Sound like somebody’s fed up with the overtaxation of cigarettes
    It needs a smoke. I got an idea allow him permission to grow his own tobacco
