Police arrest suspect for string of dollar store robberies

The Northeast Dollar Store robber got more than he bargained for on Aug. 17.

During a heist at a Family Dollar store at 4501 Castor Ave., an armed male approached a cashier and demanded money from the register. A store employee recognized the suspect from a prior incident and contacted police. Responding 15th District officers arrested Donald Thomas as he was fleeing to his car.
