Columbia man charged after two weekend robberies

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia man has now been charged for two recent weekend robberies.

Santios Leake is being held at the Boone County Jail on a $200,000 cash only bond.

Police say he stole $194 from the Break Time in the 2400 block of Paris road.

According to court documents he handed the cashier a note that said, "Give me the money or I'll shoot".

While viewing surveillance tape, an employee recognized Leake and said that he always came into the store to buy a drink.

Officers say Leake then went to another gas station on north Stadium and gave the cashier the same note.

He took $169 before leaving the store.

After reviewing surveillance tape at the second store, the tape showed the same person, wearing the same clothes and beanie cap as the first robbery.

No one was hurt.

At last check, a court date had not been set.
