LOS ANGELES, CA — A suspect in a 2025 armed robbery at the Dollar Tree at 502 1st St. in Bradenton has been located in Los Angeles after a year-long investigation, authorities said.
Adrian Randall was taken into custody Friday by the FBI's Los Angeles Fugitive Task Force and remains in custody in California, Bradenton police wrote in a social media post.
The arrest stems from a robbery reported on July 8, 2025, at the Dollar Tree store. (Watch surveillance footage of the robbery below.)
Randall entered the business wearing a coat and covering her face, then walked into the store's office and confronted an employee, police said.
The suspect claimed she had a weapon and instructed the employee to empty the safe, investigators said.
The robbery happened quickly, police said. "Randall was in and out of the store in two minutes."
Forensic evidence linked her to the crime.
For now, Randall remains in custody in Los Angeles. Police said there is no information on when she will be extradited to Manatee County.
