Masked Armed Robbers Hit Peachtree Corners Gas Station

Gwinnett Police are investigating an armed robbery by masked men at a Peachtree Corners gas station last week.

According to a police incident report obtained by Patch, two men wearing ski masks held up the Shell station at 5500 Spalding Drive around 12:45 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 17. One of the men was carrying a long scoped rifle, according to the report.

The suspects are described as white males 160 to 170 pounds and 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10.

No one was injured in the incident.

According to the police report, the men entered the store, demanded money and forced the clerk to open the cash register and get on the floor. They grabbed money and left on foot, dropping money as they exited.

The suspect with the rifle wore an orange ski mask, brown gloves and dark clothing. The second suspect, who was carrying a large stick, wore a black ski mask, white long-sleeved shirt and socks on his hands, presumably as gloves.

They made off with $72, according to the incident report.
