Authorities have

identified one suspect in last week's armed

robbery of a Fayetteville family and are looking

for him as well as his four accomplices.

A warrant has been

issued based on a fingerprint and videotape

evidence, according to Maj. Bruce Jordan of the

Fayette County Sheriff's Department.

Fayetteville police

reports state that two armed men approached

Thaddius White Wednesday evening as he got out of

his car in the driveway of his home at 140

Glenwood Lane. After demanding money from him,

they forced White, his 8-year-old son and

4-year-old daughter inside the house.

The suspects struck

White several times before tying him up and

forcing the children to lie facedown on the

kitchen floor, police said. They then fled the

home with an undetermined amount of money.

Police are looking

for:

A black male,

5'11" to six feet tall, medium build, about

185 pounds, bald with a gold tooth, wearing a

white t-shirt and armed with a semiautomatic

handgun.

A black male,

5'11" to six feet tall, medium build, armed

with an unknown handgun.

A black male, short

in height, wearing a FUBU shirt, a red and blue

cap with blue jeans and short hair.

Two black males

wearing dark clothing and short hair.

The Sheriff's

Department got involved in the case Thursday at

the victim's request, Jordan said, and is working

jointly with the Fayetteville Police Department.

A wrapper that had

contained duct tape used by the suspects was

found at the scene and traced to the

manufacturer, then to the Split Second

convenience store on Old National Highway where

it was purchased, Jordan said. The victim owns a

business in the shopping center next to that

store.

A videotape

obtained at the store shows a suspect making the

purchase. A fingerprint taken from the duct tape

wrapper also was obtained and has been

identified, Jordan said.

The search has been

picked up by the Metro Fugitive Squad. The

suspect's name is not being released while

authorities look for him, Jordan said.

The investigation

is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to

contact Detective James Miller at 770-461-4441.

All information will be kept confidential.

The Fayetteville

Police Department will have a neighborhood watch

meeting for residents of the Lakemont subdivision

Wednesday, March 15, at 7 p.m. in the clubhouse.
