Second Robbery in a Month at the Franklin Farms Shopping Center
Date: January 08, 2008 07:27PM
Looks like the helicopter didn't get video of the capture of this guy. He got away. This is the second armed robbery in this shopping center in a month. I wonder if the robber lives in the same complex as the last kid who committed the robbery at the Sunoco?
Monday at 5:25pm??? That's rush hour on the FFX Parkway? At first I would say that is a terrible to time to rob a bank because you couldn't get away, but then again rush hour traffic might also keep FFX cruisers from getting to the bank.
