Westshore Pizza Robbery Suspect Arrested

St. Petersburg Police have arrested 48-year-old Lori Belbin for the June 9 robbery of the Westshore Pizza at 3187 4th St. N.

According to police, as a result of the media's airing  taken during the armed robbery at Westshore Pizza on June 9, detectives received several tips identifying Belbin as the suspect seen in the video.
