CHARLOTTE — An armed suspect got away with $20,000 after robbing the PLS Check Cashers at North Tryon Street and West Sugar Creek Road Tuesday night, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said.
Six people, including employees and customers, were inside at about 9:30 p.m. when the robbery happened in north Charlotte. The victims told police a young man walked in wearing all black. They said he pointed a gun, took the cash, and ran into the woods.
Charlotte resident Mikhal Ochoa said he has visited the PLS location a few times and hopes the armed robber is captured.
