According to the Charles City police department, “the criminals were busy Sunday morning,” beginning around 6:00 AM, they say, when “a male robbed the RushStop on South Main Street.”
The culprit displayed a firearm and left with an undisclosed amount of money and may have been involved in previous crimes.
“At about the same time,” police continued, “someone broke into Quality Auto on Gilbert Street, smashing the front door and leaving with some money.”
Police are not sure if the crimes are related. They are asking the public to forward to them any information or clues that might help solve the crimes.
