Golden Pantry Robbed at Gunpoint Early Monday Morning
The information in this story comes from the ACC Police Department. An arrest isn't the same as a conviction.
Around 3:55am on August 12, officers responded to reports of an armed robbery that had just occurred at the Golden Pantry, 3495 Atlanta Highway.
The clerk told the officers that a black man approached the counter, pointed a handgun at him, and demanded the money.
The clerk gave the man the money, and the man ordered him to get on the floor. The suspect then left the building, but the clerk didn't know where he went.
He was further described as 5’6” to 5’7”, 130 to 140 pounds, in mid-20’s. He wore a black hoodie, with a t-shirt wrapped around the lower part of his face, and blue jeans. He also carried a black messenger-type bag.
