Armed Robbery on Old Parham Road Leaves Businessman Injured
By Cory Wayland
Police are investigating an armed robbery that left a local businessman injured early Wednesday morning as he attempted to make a bank deposit on Old Parham Road.
The victim, who operates a distribution company, told investigators he arrived at the bank around 5 a.m. and was immediately confronted by two masked men clad in dark clothing.
One of the suspects was described as slim and of fair complexion, while the other, who carried a firearm, was stocky and of dark complexion.
When the businessman tried to retreat to his vehicle, the armed suspect pointed the weapon at him and demanded money. The assailant then struck him in the left eye before seizing a bag containing an undisclosed sum of cash.
The victim sustained injuries to his eye during the attack, though police confirmed they were not life-threatening.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about the suspects or the robbery to contact the Criminal Investigations Department. The case remains under active investigation.
