Police snagged another robbery suspect on Wednesday, making seven arrests in a slew of Laurinburg store heists.

The new arrest is in connection with the Kangaroo robbery on May 11.

Latrell Deondrick Allen, 18, of Omega Drive, Laurinburg, was arrested Wednesday night and charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, first degree kidnapping and conspiracy to commit armed robber, according to Detective Brian Gibson.

Gibson said that evidence turned up during the investigation of Michael "Mike-Mike" McNeill that implicated Allen in the robbery of the Kangaroo convenience store in Laurinburg.

Police believe McNeill and Allen are the two men who held the cashier of the Main Street convenience store at gunpoint while stealing cash and cigarettes.

McNeill, 17, of 511 N. Caledonia Rd., Laurinburg, is jailed under other charges and has not yet been charged with the Kangaroo robbery.

The other robbery suspects in custody are:

• Octavious Lemar Johnson, 19, 1313B Tara Drive

• Nigel Antwain McKoy, 20, of 20281 Blakely Rd., Laurinburg

• A 15-year-old from Fayetteville

Carter, Johnson, McNeill, McKoy, and the juvenile were charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, first-degree burglary, second-degree kidnapping and possession of a firearm by someone under the age of 21 in the robbery of Precision Hair Design on Tuesday, according to police. They are being held in Scotland County jail, each under a $500,000 secured bond.

Police believe these five were also responsible for the robberies at the Kangaroo convenience store, Gill Street Quick Stop and Family Dollar. Charges on these robberies are pending.
