Armed Robbery, Rand

 

 

Kanawha County, WV — The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect involved in an armed robbery that occurred on Saturday night, April 19, 2025, in Rand.

 

Deputies responded to a report of a robbery at the Dollar General located in Rand around 10:00 p.m. Witnesses reported that a man entered the store, presented a note to an employee indicating that it was a robbery, and claimed he was armed with a firearm.

 

The suspect used an umbrella to obscure security cameras and wore a ski mask and gloves to conceal his identity. He is described as a tall, skinny male wearing tan pants and a gray long-sleeved hooded shirt. Investigators believe the man entered the store from the Athens Avenue area and fled in that same direction following the robbery.

 

Anyone with information regarding this individual’s identity is urged to contact Deputy B.L. Shamblin at 304-357-0169. Tips can remain anonymous.
