Man in custody after series of armed robberies, including Domino’s delivery theft

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man is in custody after Indianapolis police connected him to a series of robberies, including one armed robbery where he stole wings and cheesy bread from a Domino’s driver.

Laurens Jean Francois, 22, faces three charges relating to theft and robbery for the robbery string that started mid-July.

On July 19, a Domino’s delivery driver reported to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department that they’d been robbed at gunpoint while trying to deliver food on Whitehaven Road right off of North High School Road.

Three days later, officers responded to a business on North High School that had been robbed of nearly $2,000 by an armed suspect who later fled on foot.

After reviewing security footage and using other “investigative techniques,” IMPD named Francois a suspect.

He was tracked down on Wednesday and was pulled over in a traffic stop, where police say they spotted a firearm in plain sight. A later search of Francois’ home located an AR 15 pistol and ammo, a ski mask, and a black Domino’s Pizza delivery bag.

Francois was taken into custody and is being held at the Marion County jail without bond. He was due in court for a hearing Friday morning.
