(Michigan City, IN) - We have more details about the armed robberies of food delivery workers in Michigan City last week.
26 year old Julius Harris is charged in La Porte Superior Court 1 with three Level 3 felony counts of robbery.
Police said the Michigan City man held up three delivery workers from pizza establishments. According to authorities, he placed the orders on a phone with numbers that cannot be traced. When the orders arrived, Harris was allegedly there and pointed a gun demanding the food and money.
The robberies occurred on three consecutive days with each one happening about 7 p.m. on Phillips St. and E. 11th St. According to police, Harris told investigators he was having a tough time financially after losing his construction job and he took the food to a home he was sharing with his girlfriend and her family for all of them to eat.
Harris could face anywhere from three to 16 years on each count. Police said surveillance video showing Harris was among the pieces of evidence linking him to the robberies.
