Chimbo Mart robbed on Saturday
09/28/2009 10:08 PM by John M
The RPD’s Noteworthy Incidents scantily reported a robbery at 515 Chimborazo Boulevard just before 3PM on Saturday as: “An employee reported an unknown male with a gun robbed the business.” Turns out that 515 is the Chimbo Mart and readers have added some detail:
Allegedly the robber(s) only robbed the store. The customers were not robbed. To flee, the suspect(s) ran into the woods on 35th street between Marshall and Clay streets. Police surrounded the area for several hours, even bringing in the K9 unit.
Weird, I walked right by there around that time and didn’t notice anything.
the police said he locked an employee in the cooler at gunpoint the store is full of video cameras
That explains all of the policemen in tactical gear that I saw on saturday.
There are just way too many abandoned buildings and overgrown lots to hide in.
Hopefully they can capture the thug by video identification
The owners are such nice people.
