Three incidents of armed robbery have occurred at the Galleria and Northpark malls according to an alert (by way of the Lakewood Neighborhood Association) from Edward Daley, general manager of the Galleria.
Two black males approach a person walking to or from a car parked in the parking garage, show a gun and quietly demand the victim’s wallet — this has been the MO in one case at the Galleria and two cases at Northpark in the past week. In the Galleria case, the victim was parked fairly close to the valet stand, yet the robbery went unnoticed, according to the alert. Mall personnel hope to prevent a trend by increasing public awareness of these sorts of crimes.
