KMPD needs help identifying robbery suspects By Loretta Cozart The Kings Mountain Police Department Criminal Investigations Division seeks the public’s assistance to identify any individuals involved in two separate armed robbery cases in the past two weeks. The first incident occurred at the Domino’s of Kings Mountain at 110-6 W. Kings Street on June 6, just after midnight.
The second incident occurred at the Amiya Express of Kings Mountain at 212 West King Street on June 11, just after 7 a.m. Possible similarities between the two incidents have been observed throughout the investigations by the KMPD. In the robbery of Domino’s, police reported that two suspects were dressed in all black attire with black head scarfs
covering their face and head in its entirety. The names “Chase” or “Victor” were used by the suspects during the incident. The clothing had very few distinguishing features but from the video surveillance the following has been determined for each suspect. Details about Suspect #1: Race: White or light See ROBBERY, Page 7A
