Massachusetts woman robs store 3 times in same day

A Fall River, Massachusetts woman robbed the same liquor store three times in less than 24 hours and arrested in her home, police said.

The Herald News reports that Latasha Singletary is chargeed with two counts of armed robbery and one count of robbery while masked. Singletary is reportedly on pre-trial probation involving armed robbery of the same store in April 2011.

Singletary went into Anna’s Liquors and threatened the 52-year-old clerk with a knife, took money, cigarettes and lottery tickets from the store.

“This is just a few days after the defendant offered a plea for intimidating a witness, the charge that put her on a suspended sentence,” prosecutor Adrienne Beauregard alleged during Singletary’s arraignment in District Court Thursday.

Singletary then returned the next day at 10 a.m. to rob the store again, police said. This time, in addition to money, cigarettes, lottery tickets and liquor bottles were also taken.

While police were typing up the incident report for the morning robbery, they received a call at 2 p.m. that Singletary was robbing the store again.

Police descended on the area and, following tips from people in the neighborhood, found Singletary at her home.

“People really stepped up to the plate to help us,” Detective J.D. Costa told The Herald News. “We got a lot of community cooperation. It really made a difference.”
