Police are searching for a man accused of holding a Gwinnett County gas station clerk at gunpoint during a robbery — and then stealing the clerk’s car.
Surveillance video obtained by Channel 2 Action News shows the man enter a gas station off Duluth Highway on Saturday while wearing a mask. Gwinnett police are hoping the suspect’s purple glove might help someone recognize him.
Witnesses told police the gunman fired a shot outside the gas station before entering, and then he fired a second gunshot into the ceiling above the clerk’s counter, Channel 2 reported. Customers inside, including a 13-year-old girl, hid in a bathroom during the incident.
The clerk estimated that the gunman stole about $3,000, and police said the robber used the clerk’s car to make his getaway. No one was injured during the robbery.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Gwinnett police at 770-513-5000.
