Goldsboro, N.C. — The Goldsboro Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance as investigators work to identify a suspect connected to an armed robbery at the Franklin Bakery Thrift Store.
The robbery occurred on Dec. 20, 2025, at approximately 2:04 p.m. at the store, located at 609 N. Virginia St. According to police, a suspect entered the business, displayed a firearm, and demanded money from the cash register before fleeing the scene on foot.
As part of the ongoing investigation, the Goldsboro Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division has released updated information and is seeking help from the community.
