Police officials gave the following account for each robbery:

* 6:53 a.m. – Willie Walker, of Charlotte, was robbed of personal property at gunpoint while at the Interstate 85 rest area near exit 58.

Three suspects apparently followed Walker from a Statesville Road gasoline station in Charlotte to the Concord rest area after a verbal altercation occurred at the station.

One of the three suspects struck Walker in the chest with a sawed-off shotgun. They were last seen driving north on I-85 in a gray Chevrolet Suburban with a black stripe down the side.

* 4:02 p.m. – Dana M. Johnson, of Charlotte, was walking in a grocery store parking lot when a woman approached and asked for directions to Charlotte.

As Johnson began giving directions, the suspect pointed a silver handgun and demanded her purse. Johnson ran back into the grocery store and obtained help in calling the police.

* 4:08 p.m. – A female demanding money robbed the clerk at the Exxon Express Shoppe 12, at 540 Lake Concord Road.

The robber had a gun and left in a white pickup operated by another female. Officers intercepted the truck on Cedar Drive in Concord, arrested the women and found a weapon in the truck.

Charged with the robberies of the Exxon store robbery and Dana Johnson are: Leslie Lynn Griffin, 31, and Ashley Elizabeth Riser, 31, both of Concord. Bond was set for each suspect at $100,000.
