Vinings Gas Station Robbed at Gunpoint: Police

Two suspects are believed to be involved, one of which seemingly served as a "lookout" during the incident.

Cobb County police are searching for a pair of men they believe robbed a Vinings gas station on Thursday night.

According to police, an armed man walked into the QuikTrip at 2804 Paces Ferry Road SE at 8:56 p.m. and demanded money from the cashier. The suspect was given an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the scene with a second suspect, who police believe had been serving as a lookout just outside the front door.

Police describe the armed suspect as a black male between 5’7” and 5’10” with a thin build who looked to be in his late teens or early 20’s. He was last seen wearing a black American Eagle hoodie, a red baseball cap, blue jeans, and gray and black Nike sneakers.
