Police are looking for an armed robbery crew after three northwest Atlanta businesses were hit in a matter of minutes overnight.
According to Channel 2 Action News, two of the three robbers went inside the 24-hour Food Mart on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard and took cash while the other manned the door.
Minutes later, investigators said the same group struck the West Lake Food Mart on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, where they robbed a clerk and a customer.
At the last location on Hollywood Road, another 24-hour store, the same crew tried to rob the business, but the clerk pulled out a gun, authorities told the news station.
In each case, police said the robbers were caught on surveillance video. They were seen carrying assault weapons and wearing hoodies. One member of the crew wore a surgical mask, police said.
Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to call police. Tipsters can remain anonymous, and be eligible for rewards of up to $2,000, by contacting Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477, texting information to 274637 or visiting the Crime Stoppers website.
