Three masked, armed men on Saturday robbed the Rite Aid pharmacy at 2498 Cumberland Parkway in Atlanta.

Police said the trio entered the store around 7 a.m. and demanded money from cash registers and the safe. The employees were forced into a stock room in the back, said Officer Joseph Hernandez, spokesman for the Cobb County Police Department. The thieves ran out the rear door with an undisclosed amount of cash.

All three suspects are described as black males between 22 and 25 years of age wearing dark clothing. One was about 5 feet 6 inches tall and 160 pounds, wearing a black netted material over his face; the second was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and 160 pounds, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and gloves; and the third was about 5 feet 5 inches tall with no weight description, wearing all black clothing.

Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call Cobb police at 770-499-3945.
