GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A suspect behind a string of armed robberies in Green Bay is being sought, and police need your help locating him.
During a news conference Thursday, Green Bay police said the latest heist happened at the BP gas station, 2056 Main Street, around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Police believe the person who took off with an undisclosed amount of cash from the BP is also responsible for three other robberies in the past 2 months.
- Subway Restaurant, 1120 Radisson Street, on January 27 at 8:21 p.m.
- Family Dollar, 708 Lime Kiln Road, on February 9 at 1:28 p.m.
- CVS Pharmacy, 930 Main Street, on February 21 at 7:29 p.m.
Authorities describe the suspect as a black man between 40 and 50-years-old, about 5’10” to 6′ tall, weighing approximately 180 to 200 pounds. He has been described as having some sort of facial hair, probably a goatee that has distinctive graying on the sides.
His vehicle used in the robberies is described as possibly a 1999 or 2000 Hyundai Elantra, 4-door with damage to the front and rear passenger sides. It has black outside mirrors and 8-spoke hubcaps.
In all four robberies, no one has been hurt but a handgun was used in all of them and store employees were threatened.
Officers say some of the money taken in the BP robbery was coated with a dye. The suspect is believed to have this dye on his hands or possibly face and clothes. This dye usually produces a blue or purple coloring of the skin that remains for a few days.
Green Bay police are asking for the community’s help to look at the photos of the car and the suspect to see if they recognize him.
