On July 9th, shortly after 9:30 PM, officers responded to a robbery attempt at the Family Dollar located at 704 N 7th St. Store personnel reported that a black male attempted to rob them as they were leaving for the night. The attempt was unsuccessful, and no employees were injured.

On July 13th, around 2:00 PM, officers were dispatched to an armed robbery at the Party Shoppe at 204 W 24th Ave Apt B. Two black males entered the store, brandished firearms, and emptied the cash registers before fleeing on foot.

The following day, July 14th, at 3:00 PM, officers responded to another armed robbery at In and Out, located at 306 S 7th St. A black male entered the store, pointed a gun at employees, collected cash from the register, and left.
