For the second time in a week an area business was robbed at gunpoint. On Monday Tims Ford Liquor store on the Cowan Hwy in Winchester was held up. The person involved in the crime was described as being a black male holding a black handgun and he was wearing a black mask. The man forced the clerk into a backroom and then took an undisclosed amount of money and fled. Winchester Police is investigating and searching for the suspect.
Last week Carroll St. Liquors was robbed at gunpoint in Tullahoma by an unknown subject. Chief Paul Blackwell told WMSR News that the subject looks very similar to the person involved in other robberies in the area. The subject entered the store, grabbed the clerk, and held them at gunpoint while demanding money from the cash register. The stores surveillance system shows the suspect entering the store from the west and exiting in the same direction.
If you have any information about any of the cases please contact authorities.
