On December 11, 2021, TPSO Detectives began investigating an armed robbery at the Chevron Gas Station on University Ave in Hammond.
Through the course of the investigation, Detectives were able to obtain video surveillance footage which showed a black male, later identified as 49 YO Alvin “Roy” Phillips, entering the rear side of the store and then began removing merchandise.
Phillips later armed himself with a knife while approaching an employee of the Chevron.
Phillips fled the scene in a Silver Dodge Pick-Up Truck.
TPSO said yesterday that Phillips has been taken into custody and charged accordingly.
