Johnston Police Chief Chris Aston said his department is working on leads to try to solve the crime. In the robbery a black male wore a burgundy dress, a long wig, sunglasses, and white tennis shoes. He is described as slender built, 5’ 7” and 5’ 9”, and clean shaven. Chief Aston said surrounding counties have also had similar crimes reported in their counties. “At this time we’re not sure this is an isolated event,” Chief Aston said.

Police said they have at least two “persons of interest” in the investigations. For
