Lynchburg Police are investigating three armed robberies reported on Thursday and Friday.

Officers responded to the 2900 block of Memorial Avenue on Thursday at 11:58 p.m. The following day, officers responded to the 1900 block of Old Forest Road at approximately 4:25 p.m. Less than an hour later, a third armed robbery was reported in the 1600 block of Memorial Avenue.

The suspect is about 5 feet tall.

If you have camera footage or saw something suspicious in the areas of Old Forest Road and Hill Street, or 1600 and 2900 blocks of Memorial Avenue, you are asked to come forward.
