Man Attempts to Rob Fredericksburg Business, Runs at First Mention of Police

Officers are looking for a suspect in an attempted robbery at Panaderia-Aury, 3343 Fall Hill Avenue in Fredericksburg, according to Fredericksburg City Police.

The suspect is described as a hispanic man around 25 years old with a thin build. He was last seen wearing a gray baseball hat, beige shirt and light colored jacket.

Around 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 4 a man entered Panaderia-Aury and demanded money from the store’s manager. The manager refused to give the suspect money, prompting the suspect to threaten to take it by force and implying he had a weapon.

When the manager still refused and told the man she was calling police, he fled from the store.

This is not Panaderia-Aury’s first encounter with thieves; the business was robbed in 2011 when suspects broke into the store and stole the cash register.
