Savannah-Chatham police are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects in a west Savannah armed robbery over the weekend.
A gunman and his accomplice were caught on surveillance camera about 9 p.m. last Saturday entering the Dollar General in the 2100 block of West Bay Street, said Julian Miller, police spokesman. The gunman jumped onto the store’s counter and demanded cash from two employees.
Both suspects fled the location in a dark colored vehicle, heading eastbound on West Bay Street form Tuten Avenue, Miller said. They later abandoned the vehicle in the downtown area.
Witnesses told investigators the gunman was a black male about 5 feet 10 inches with a slender build who wore all black clothing and a black baseball cap, Miller said. He had his face partially covered.
The second suspect, also a black male, is described as standing between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet and heavily built. Like the gunman, he wore all black including a baseball cap.
