Police are searching for an armed suspect known as the Ninja Robber who robbed a Family Dollar store on Sunday night.
The black male suspect entered the Family Dollar store at 810 NW 28th Street, just before 9:00 pm, armed with a handgun, police said. The suspect was wearing dark clothing and carrying a backpack.
