Brian Eugene Brubaker has been tied to robberies in Augusta County, Staunton, Greene County and Harrisonburg. One local gun shop owner says he's seen an increase in business because of those crimes.

The owner of Nuckols Gun Works in Staunton, Chris Kincheloe, says, when residents started hearing about the alleged serial robber on the loose, many of them turned to Nuckols for protection.

Kincheloe says more residents have come in looking for added protection in the form of a hand gun. He says it's not uncommon for an event, such as these robberies, to lead people to buy a gun.

Kincheloe says, "They certainly get concerned for their safety, and we've seen several hand gun sales this week alone just because of the recent string of robberies."

Kincheloe doesn't expect his sales to go down, despite Brubaker being arrested, since he says more and more people want to be able to protect themselves.
