Shreveport Police have released video footage of a suspect who robbed a west Shreveport dollar store last week.

About 8:20 p.m. on July 26, police responded to a reported robbery at the Family Dollar in the 3800 block of Linwood Avenue. Witnesses told police a male suspect entered the store and purchased a pack of chewing gum. As the clerk was opening the register to complete the transaction, the man allegedly reached into a tote bag and raised it up as if he was concealing a weapon.

The Louisiana Association for the Blind has launched a new line of products that will create 12 new jobs and help support breast cancer awareness. The LAB says 15% of the proceeds from every item purchased will be donated toward breast cancer awareness programs and research.

The products include legal pads in 5” x 8” and 8 ½” x 11” sizes in pink and white with a pink leatherette binding at the top and the words “Breast Cancer Awareness” with the ribbon symbol embossed in white.  Pink “Recipe for Prevention” 5” x 8” recipe cards complete the offering.
