Speedway robbery suspect nabbed in Piqua

UPDATE @ 3:11 p.m. (Feb. 21)

Greenville police announce Eric D. Higgins, Jr., 28, of Piqua, has been arrested in connection to this robbery.

EARLIER REPORT

Greenville police are asking for your help in identifying the man who robbed the Speedway at Wagner Avenue and East Main Street in Greenville, Darke County, early Sunday.

The police department on Monday afternoon released surveillance video that purports to show a man threatening the store clerk while demanding cash about 4:20 a.m. Sunday.

A handgun was never seen, but the invader made it clear to the clerk that he was armed, according to police.

According to detectives, the suspect likely has been identified.

The Sunday morning robbery occurred across the street from a Walgreen store that was the target of an armed robber in July. That case has not been solved, but police said the July robbery is unrelated to the Sunday morning robbery.

If you recognize the man in the video that accompanies this news report, you are asked to contact Greenville police, at 937-548-1103, or Darke County Crime Stoppers, at 937-547-1661.
