Police Search for Two Armed Robbers

Printer-friendly version

Macon Police are looking for two armed robbers.  Last night around 11:45pm, the owner of Market Place on Clinton Rd. was waiting for customers to leave so he could close up the store.  A money box was visible on the counter and the safe was open while the store owner was talking on a cell phone, and walking to secure the door.  That's when the two suspects rushed in.

One suspect knocked the store owner to the ground and held the customers at gunpoint, while the other suspect went behind the counter to grab the money.

One of the customers and the store owner have minor injuries from the incident.

The suspects fled with an undisclosed amount of cash.

One was wearing a blue baseball cap.  One had a bandage on his forearm; police say, perhaps to cover a tattoo.
