SUFFOLK, Va. – Suffolk Police are looking for a suspect who robbed a Rite Aid in the 1500 block of Holland Road. Police believe the same suspect was involved in an armed robbery of a Dollar General in the 200 block of Wilroy Road on May 10.

The man left the store and walked toward the McDonald’s parking lot next door and left in a dark-colored, four-door vehicle. No one was injured.

The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 6 foot tall, wearing dark colored clothing and a large straw hat.
