Family Dollar robbed

WARREN

A man apparently hid inside the Family Dollar store, 2430 Youngstown Road, until store employees closed the store about 10 p.m. Tuesday, then surprised the employees as they were counting the store’s money in the office and robbed them of $1,892.

The man ordered the employees not to turn around or he would “blast them.”

An officer found $1,560 in cash in the snow where the suspect had run after the robbery. The money was returned to the employees, though one $50 bill was taken as evidence because it appeared to have wet blood on it, police said.
