Police search for man in 3 Charlotte store robberies

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police are searching for a man they believe robbed an Advanced Auto Parts on North Sharon Amity Road and twice robbed a nearby Metro PCS wireless store in recent weeks.

Police released video surveillance photos of the man in hopes someone recognizes him.

The man is heavy-set, in his mid-30s, about 5-feet-10 inches tall and 225 pounds.

In the most recent robbery, the man wore a black baseball cap, black hoodie, black mesh shorts and black sneakers with a white sole.

Anyone with information about the man or the robberies is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
