Vinings Restaurant Robbed by Masked Men, Police Say

Cobb County police are looking for two men they say robbed a restaurant in Vinings and attacked one of its employees.

Police spokesman Dana Pierce said the masked men entered the Subway at 3621 Vinings Slope at approximately 10:30 p.m. Wednesday and encountered a lone clerk cleaning a back room. The suspects rushed the clerk and forced him to open the restaurant’s safe.

When the clerk was unable to open the safe, the suspects became even more aggressive, Pierce said. The clerk was pistol-whipped in the face and forced into the freezer while the suspects made off with an undisclosed amount of money.

The clerk, who required medical attention at the scene for the pistol whip injury, told police that the first suspect is a dark-skinned black male who stands around 6’1” tall and is between 20 and 30 years old. He also has a deep southern accent, the clerk said.

According to the clerk, the second suspect is a medium-skinned black male who stands around 5’11” with a medium build and is between 20 and 30 years old. He also has two intricate sleeve tattoos on his arms which feature ”evil” motifs such as flames, zombies, and skulls.
