| Armed Robbery at Local
Convenience Store |
| |
| On July 26, 2007, at
approximately 2119 hrs, the Burke County Sheriff's Office responded to the Q
Stop Market, located at 1504 Bethel Road, in reference to a reported armed
robbery. |
| |
| When deputies with the
Sheriff's Office arrived on scene the store clerk reported that while she was
outside on the telephone with a store manager, two white females wearing black
hooded sweatshirts with bandanas across their faces came from behind the
store and approached her carrying a small handgun. |
| |
| The two females then
reportedly advised the clerk to hang up the phone and made her go back inside
and open the register. |
| |
| The store clerk advised
the two females are white, both in their mid 20's, light complexions, and one
of the females was said to have blue eyes. |
| |
| The two female suspects
took an undisclosed amount of cash from the register and then fled on
foot. |
| |
| The case is currently
under investigation by detectives with the Sheriff's Office. If anyone has any
information as to the identity of the two suspects, contact the Burke County
Sheriff's Office or Crimestoppers. |
