NORFOLK, Va. (NPD) – Norfolk detectives have caught the man responsible for robbing four businesses in two days.
Johnnie N. Jones, 60, of the 800 block of Tifton Street, was arrested Monday afternoon following a series of robberies over the past two days.

On Monday, Jones struck again at the Walgreens located at 810 West 21st Street. Following that robbery, officers spotted his car and gave chase. Jones refused to stop and sped away at a high rate of speed. The officer stopped pursuing Jones because of Jones’ unsafe speed and driving.

No injuries were reported during the robberies.
