The Alexandria Police Department is investigating the robbery of sweetFrog, a frozen yogurt shop located in the 500 block of S. Van Dorn Street.
Around 4:20 p.m., on Wednesday, July 29, an unknown man entered the store, sat at a table, and waited for customers to leave. The suspect then approached the cashier and brandished a knife. He took cash from the register and fled. There were no injuries.
The suspect is described as a white male in his mid to late 20’s, average height, brown hair, a mustache with a goatee, and a slim build. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt with a graphic on the back, dark shorts, flip flops, a baseball cap, and glasses.
The suspect fled the scene in a newer model silver Honda accord. The vehicle had front end damage, a missing front grill, and the passenger side mirror was hanging from the car. A white female with blond hair was driving the vehicle.
The store had numerous surveillance cameras. The footage of the crime was edited into one video and can be viewed on the Alexandria Police Department’s YouTube Channel: youtube.com/AlexandriaVAPD.
