Woman who wore Louis Vuitton mask, fired gun during robbery being sought, CMPD says
A woman who donned a Louis Vuitton face mask and fired a gun during the armed robbery of a Dollar General in Charlotte on Sunday is being sought by authorities, police said Friday.
The robbery was caught on security video obtained by WBTV, and shows the woman walking up to the cashier before firing a shot in one of the aisles of the store at 6217 South Blvd. around 9:30 p.m.
While the woman was leaving the store, she fired a round from her pistol at a beverage refrigerator inside the business, police said in a news release. She took money from the registers, police said.
“I guess she was trying to scare one of the employees perhaps,” CMPD Officer Ricky Smith told WBTV.
Police haven’t see a lot of suspects fire guns during robberies, but this is an exception, according to Smith.
