Masked men rob Dollar General at gunpoint

FAYETTE COUNTY, Ga. — Fayetteville Police are looking for a pair of armed robbers who targeted a Dollar General store Tuesday night as employees were closing.

Surveillance video captures two armed masked men running into the store just before 10 p.m. at the location on Banks Road.

One man with a rifle demanded money from the safe while another demanded money from the register. No one was hurt in the incident.

"This is dangerous," said Capt. Mike Whitlow with the Fayetteville Police Department. "We need these guys off the street."

Police say the robbers left in a gray sedan with a Georgia-issued University of Florida tag.

It's the second time the store has been robbed in the past few months, according to police.

There is no known connection between the two robberies, Whitlow said.

"It’s just frightening to know masked robbers are in your area," said Chalonda Walker, who lives nearby.
