A Riverdale man accused of holding up several Family Dollar stores was arrested early Friday, police said.

Cory Lattimmore, who is believed to be responsible for six armed robberies dating back several months, was arrested at his home along Wynthorpe Way, the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

The 31-year-old is charged with seven counts of armed robbery and four counts of kidnapping, jail records show. No other details on the specific incidents were available Saturday.

Authorities said Riverdale police detectives were able to link Lattimmore to the robberies after searching his home. He was arrested about 1:30 a.m. Friday with the help of Clayton County’s Fugitive Squad.
