Another Robbery in the Bluffs

News

June 24th, 2014 by Jim Field

Council Bluffs Police are investigating yet another robbery.  Sunday afternoon, just after 3:00 pm, police say a white male entered the Kum and Go store on Bennett Avenue and told the clerk to open the drawer.  He reached over the counter and took an undetermined amount of cash.  He did not display a weapon during the theft.  The man fled on foot.  The man was described as being in his twenties, possibly 5′-10″ and 165 pounds.  He was wearing a black sweatshirt with a large graphic print on the front, black gloves, a black beanie cap, a black bandana over his face, light blue jeans and tennis shoes.  Police say they have not yet determined if this is the same suspect that is involved in the rash of robberies that have recently occurred.  Four Council Bluffs businesses were hit early Sunday morning.  Police are asking anyone with information to contact them through the Crimestoppers hotline at 712-328-7867.
