On Tuesday, February 18, 2014 at approximately 9:16PM Yarmouth Police Officers responded to the parking lot area of Shaw’s Supermarket on Route 28 in South Yarmouth for the report of an armed robbery.

Upon arrival, the victim told Officers that he was just robbed by a Hispanic male and he described him as follows, approximately 5’5″, heavy build, wearing a black hat, black jacket, blue jeans, approximately 26 to 28 years old, with facial hair. The victim knew the suspect and provided Officers initially with his first name and then subsequently with his full name.

Officer confirmed that the robbery occurred in the parking lot earlier in the evening at approximately 8:30PM and involved threatening the victim with a hand held knife. The victim gave the suspect the money and the suspect fled on foot. The victim subsequently found out where the suspect lived and walked over to his nearby house in an attempt to get his money back. When that was unsuccessful the victim called YPD.

At approximately 12:50 AM this morning, Yarmouth Police Patrol Officer Richard Fichter, Detective Russell Giammarco, Patrol Officer Paulo Cruz, and Patrol Officer Justin Haire responded to 22 Mayflower Lane in South Yarmouth and located the suspect and placed him under arrest for armed robbery.
