FALL RIVER — A 30-year-old woman suspected of holding up a Corky Row liquor store three times in two days this week was awaiting trial for a 2011 armed robbery at the same store, police said.



Latasha M. Singletary of 36 Baker St. was captured after a manhunt on Wednesday and charged with armed robbery while masked and two counts of armed robbery, according to Detective J.D. Costa, spokesman for the Fall River Police Department. She was arraigned this morning.



In the first robbery on Tuesday, Costa said, Singletary entered Anna's Liquors at 280 Rodman St. brandishing a knife, her face masked with a white T-shirt. The 52-year-old woman tending the store fled, and Singletary stole an undisclosed amount of cash, Costa said.



Using video footage of the holdup, detectives compiled a photo array and, according to Costa, the victim identified Singletary as the robber.



The next morning, a second armed robbery was reported at Anna's. The same knife-wielding woman had returned to steal cash, cigarettes and Lottery tickets, Costa said. Again, police searched the neighborhood but could not find the suspect.



While the officer was typing up the incident report that afternoon, a call came in that the store was being robbed a third time by the same woman.



Police dispatched all available resources and with the help of neighbors, captured Singletary, who was held overnight at the police station on $25,000 bail, according to police.



Singletary had been out on pre-trial probation for an April 2011 armed robbery at Anna's Liquors, Costa said.
