29-year-old Nigerian-American serial armed robber, Charles Chukwuma Onwuemelie, has been arrested in connection with over 60 armed robberies in the United States.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Police Department announced on Wednesday, September 27, 2022, that since October 2021, there has been a total of 68 armed business robberies linked to the suspect.<\/p>\n

Onwuemelie, who is dubbed as the \u2018Blue Cloth Bandit,\u2019 used a blue cloth to cover his handgun during the robberies.<\/p>\n

LAPD, in a statement said, “Since October of 2021, there have been a total of 68-armed business robberies attributed by investigators to the same suspect. The robberies have occurred throughout Los Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles. Investigators from RHD were assigned to investigate the 16 robberies that occurred inside City boundaries.”<\/p>\n

“During their investigation, RHD detectives discovered that the suspect commonly used a blue cloth to cover the handgun used in the robberies that occurred at gas stations, 7-11s and Walmarts.<\/p>\n

“The suspect would conceal himself by wearing different hats, a face mask, and rubber gloves. The same vehicle was used in many of the robberies<\/a>, and the same suspect was linked to the robberies based on several factors.<\/p>\n

“When the suspect struck again on Friday, September 23rd, detectives formulated a plan, initiated surveillance and ultimately served a search and arrest warrant.<\/p>\n

“Charles Chukwuma Onwuemelie, a 29-year-old resident of Quartz Hill was arrested at his residence. Evidence further linking him to the robberies was also recovered at scene, including a firearm.<\/p>\n

On September 27, the Los Angeles District Attorney\u2019s office filed 16 counts of 211 P.C. \u2013 Robbery, for the robberies that occurred in the City of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

It is anticipated that additional charges will be filed by the Los Angeles Sheriff\u2019s Department related to the robberies that occurred within LA County borders. It is believed that the suspect may be wanted for additional armed robberies in the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
