Statesville: Police are looking into a string of violent armed robberies at Dollar General stores. In just ten days, three different locations were hit.

The stores targeted were on Shelton Avenue, West Front Street, and Wilkesboro Boulevard. It’s pretty alarming how quickly these incidents happened.

Witnesses reported that in one case, the masked robbers were in and out in just two minutes, threatening a worker’s life for cash. That’s just terrifying.

There was another robbery where the suspects pointed a gun at a clerk’s head. It’s shocking to hear how brazen these criminals are.

Local customers like Richard and Delores were really taken aback by the violence. Richard said it’s just wrong to take from others, and Delores added that there’s no heart in robbing someone.

Just a week before, police released a photo from another robbery at a Dollar General on Wilkesboro Boulevard, where a man with a gun forced a clerk to open a safe.

At the Shelton Avenue store, workers even put up a sign asking customers to remove hats and masks before entering. It’s sad that it’s come to that.

Shakeria, a former clerk, shared that she always felt on edge at work. She recalled a coworker who was terrified after a similar incident. It’s a tough situation to be in.

Police have identified 23-year-old Chance Jalieb Jamison as a suspect in these robberies. He’s also linked to another armed robbery at a Dollar General.

Jamison faces multiple charges, including robbery and possession of a firearm by a felon. He’s still on the run, and police are urging anyone with info to reach out.
