DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Police are searching for a person who robbed a Family Dollar in DeKalb County.
A DeKalb County police spokesman told Channel 2 Action News the department's SWAT team assisted Pine Lake police at the store off Rockbridge Road.
Police said it started off as a robbery call when a Pine Lake officer responded around 9 a.m. A Family Dollar employee told him the store was just robbed.
The officer got the employee out of the store and called for backup. The DeKalb SWAT team was called because officers believed the suspect may have been holed up inside.
However, the robber had gotten out before officers responded, according to DeKalb police. The investigation is still ongoing. Police told Channel 2 they do not know how much money was stolen.
No description of the suspect is available at this time.
