AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Amarillo Police and Crime Stoppers need your help finding the man who robbed four businesses in the early morning hours on Thursday.

Police say around 12:50 a.m., a white male in what may be a 1990's blue 4-door vehicle burglarized the Murphy Oil off Georgia and I-27. The suspect drove the front of the vehicle into the front glass doors far enough to break them out. He then entered the store twice about five minutes apart, and stole lottery ticket dispensers and other items.

Between the hours of 3:45 and 4:30 a.m. the suspect or suspects burglarized three other businesses. These burglaries were at Blockbuster at 707 Amarillo Blvd. East, Murphy Oil at 5732 Amarillo Blvd. West, andthe Toot n Totum at 2400 SW 46th. Tobacco products, mostly cigarettes, and DVDs were taken in these burglaries.

The suspect is seen in one video, and is described as a tall, slim, black male.

If you have any information on these burglaries, contact Crime Stoppers at 806-374-4400 or the Amarillo Police Department at 378-3038. If your information leads to an arrest or recovery of stolen property, your tip may be worth up to $1,000.
