YOUNGSTOWN — Reports said an armed man tried about 8:30 p.m. Sunday to get inside a locked Dollar General store on Oak Street.
Reports said employees told officers one man knocked on the locked door then pointed a gun. Police reviewed surveillance video and saw three armed men on the side of the building, all with hoods over their faces.
Chief Robin Lees said the attempted robbery may be related to several other robbery attempts at similar stores within the last two weeks, where three armed men with their faces covered have taken cash and cigars.
He said detectives are trying to see if there is a link.
