Police searching for suspect in armed robbery at Gwinnett County food mart
GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Gwinnett County police are hoping the public can help identify a masked suspect in a midday armed robbery at a local food mart.
Officials say they were called to the Food Mart on the 4700 block of Jimmy Carter after reports of an armed robbery around 2 p.m. on Feb. 13.
At the scene, the officers met up with the victim, who told them he was on the phone near the cash register when a man walked in the store wearing a ski mask, black hoodie, blue latex gloves, and dark-colored sandals.
