ADDITIONAL REWARD OFFERED IN PIZZA DELIVERY ROBBERIES

     Okaloosa County Sheriff Charlie Morris is offering an additional reward of $1000.00 to the person who helps investigators solve two recent armed robberies of pizza deliverymen.

     Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers is also offering a reward of up to $1000.00 for information that leads to arrests.

    On November 11th, a deliveryman for Domino's Pizza was held up at gunpoint on Manring Drive when he showed up with pizza and wings. The two robbers also took his car, but it was later found abandoned at a business on Beal Parkway.

    The second incident took place last Thursday, November 15th, when a Papa John's employee was robbed at gunpoint on Culp Avenue, not far from the location of the first crime.

     The description of the robbers in both cases is similar.

     Anyone with information is asked to contact the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office at 850-651-7400 or Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers at 850-863-TIPS.
