Police said the four suspected robbers who were leaving the Brentwood store are in custody.

According to JSO, this was the fourth robbery of a dollar store recently. Police said the trend has been for the robbers to hit the dollar store at closing time.

The investigation is ongoing, and Sheriff T.K. Waters is expected to release more information on the string of robberies when detectives learn more.
