Police: Convenience Store Armed Robber Hid In The Drink Cooler

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — Lawrenceville Police are looking for an armed robber they say hid in the drink cooler of a convenience store before robbing it earlier this month.

On February 4, police were called at about 11:41 p.m. to the Shell gas station at 256 Hurricane Shoals Rd.

The clerk told officers that, while cleaning the store, the sound of glass breaking could be heard near the cooler. Then, a man emerged from the cooler holding a handgun.

The clerk was forced at gunpoint to the cash register, where the robber took money and other miscellaneous items.

The man then ran away, police said.

Below are images captured by a surveillance camera of the suspect:
