(May 1, 2008)—Copperas Cove police were looking for a gunman Thursday after a robber at the Dollar Tree Store at 811 East 190.

The robber struck around 11 a.m. on Wednesday, brandishing a gun and demanding money.

He fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

No one was injured.

Witnesses described the robber as black, 30 to 40 years of age and standing about 5-foot-10, police said.

He had a dark complexion, and he was wearing a light blue ball cap with silver writing, a baggy light blue T-shirt, and creased blue jeans.

Copperas Cove Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of as much as $1,000 for information leading to arrest and prosecution.

Police are asking anyone with information to Call Crime Stoppers at (254) 547-1111.

Lol $17 & your probably right! I often wonder why the heb or the bank inside hasnt been robbed (well other than inside jobs lol) I've watched the cashiers from heb go to turn their till in & stop to visit with the folks at the bank all while holding that till on their hip! Would be very easy to just rip the whole till away from them! Before anyone knew what happened the thief would be gone! Ive also noticed that sometimes it gets congested in that little area back in the corner with bank customers & heb employees! Seems like it would be easy to reach into a till and grab some quick spending money! They are so busy talking that they wouldnt even notice it! The bank is just as bad! They are always socializing back there they hardly pay attention to the customers! Before you say anything: NO i am not suggesting someone rob anyone!! This train of thought comes from having to stand in long non-moving lines at the bank and just being observant! Maybe more security measures are in order!
