MANSFIELD — The Mansfield Police Department has taken the suspect of two robberies on Sunday into custody.
Capt. Shari Robertson stated on Thursday that 44-year-old Loney Ray Murphy is officially in custody. Murphy is suspected to have robbed two businesses in Mansfield within half a mile of each other on Nov. 12 between the hours of 6 and 6:20 p.m.
“We would like to thank all those who provided tips to the Mansfield Division of Police,” Robertson said. “Without this assistance from members of our community, Mr. Murphy would not have been identified or apprehended as quickly.”
