VALE RESIDENT SOUGHT
ON ARMED ROBBERY CHARGES
By Jon Mayhew
DENVER -- Authorities have issued
warrants for a Catawba County man in connection
of two parking
lot armed robberies last weekend at the Wal-Mart
on Highway 73 in Denver.
Lincoln County detectives say Raymond Edwin
Nesbitt, 59, formerly of Bridle Path Drive in
Vale, is charged with
two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon and
one count of obtaining property by false
pretenses.
Nesbitt is accused of taking a credit card and a
small amount of money from Camille Schiavone in
one robbery
and a credit card from Jeanette Garcia in another
robbery. Both incidents occurred in the Wal-Mart
parking lot
around 1:00 p.m. on October 19.
Detective Darrell Hutchens say Nesbitt was
developed as a suspect by descriptions and a
license
plate number provided by victims in Lincoln
County and another case in Gaston County.
Officers also
got a good description from surveillance footage
at an ATM machine.
Nesbitt is accused of attempting to use one of
the stolen credit cards on the same day of the
robbery at
the ATM at Raceway at 1913 East Main Street in
Lincolnton. Nesbitt is entered as wanted for a
parole
violation by the North Carolina Department of
Corrections.
Anyone with information about Nesbitt’s
whereabouts should contact the Lincoln County
Sheriff’s
Office Detective Division at 704-736-8856 or
Crime Stoppers at 704-736-8909. If your Crime
Stoppers tip leads
to an arrest, you could be eligible for a reward
of up to $1,000.
