Washington Avenue resident accused of robbing Pandora's Boxxx with shotgun

By Howard B. Owens

A suspect has been arrested in the armed robbery June 12 of Pandora's Boxxx, Ellicott Street Road, Batavia.

Investigators executed a search warrant just after midnight at a residence on Washington Avenue and took into custody 36-year-old Sean P. Case.

Case is charged with robbery in the second degree, a Class C felony.

Case is also a person of interest in an armed robbery of a convenience store in Pavilion on Monday night.

It's alleged that Case used a sawed-off shotgun when he entered Pandora's Boxxx at 11:38 p.m. just as a clerk was closing the store and demanded the store's money.

Case was taken into custody last night without incident when members of Batavia PD's Emergency Response Team came to his door.

Participating in the investigation and arrest were deputies James Diehl and Frank Bordonaro, Investigator Kristopher A. Kautz, the Local Drug Enforcement Task Force, Batavia PD and the District Attorney's Office.

The investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible.

Following arraignment in Town of Batavia Court, Case was jailed without bail.

Brett,
Here's my best guess: the age in the 2011 post with a different address would be the same age as this (alleged) robber dude, the other post has the same name with a Washington Ave. address so.......I'm thinking its the same dude and the age that is off by 9 years was either a typo or wrong info at time of publishing.
Maybe Howard can clear it up!
Good catch though!
