Police: Armed Suspect Robs Same Store Twice

Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is hoping that surveillance footage will help identify the suspect in two armed robberies within two weeks at the same gas station.

The suspect is identified as male, 5’6”, - 5’10”, medium build, wearing all black clothes and a
black t-shirt with a “white imprint over his head and face.” He was armed with an unknown make/caliber dark color semi-automatic pistol.

The vehicle he was seen in following the second robbery may help crack the case. It is described as a dark color 2000-2006 Dodge Stratus, with a donut spare tire on the front passenger side.

On both July 30 and Aug. 8, the suspect entered the Citgo Station at 930 U.S. 92 Highway East in
Seffner. He reportedly brandished a semi automatic pistol and demanded money from the clerk, according to detectives.

After receiving an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect fled on foot. In the August 8th robbery, the vehicle was waiting on on Taylor Road
