Police searching for serial robber
Midwest City police are looking for a suspect who has robbed several business during the past two months.
Police Chief Brandon Clabes said the suspect focuses on businesses around closing times, selects a simple non-expensive item and approaches the register to pay. He slips a note to the cashier that generally states, “I have a gun, ring the item up I have provided, give me all the money in the register, I’m sorry, I need this for medication for my sick child”.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 20, standing 5’7 to 5’9 and weighing approximately 140 pounds. He wears a hoodie, dark clothing and a medical mask and once inside the stores, will look for other patrons prior to the crime.
A weapon has never been produced or seen, however, the note eludes to the fact the suspect is armed. After the robberies, the suspect flees on foot. Below are the locations and times of robberies associated with this individual:
