2 men wanted after allegedly trying to rob Dollar General store — and failing
Atlanta police are asking for help identifying two suspects accused of trying to rob a southwest Atlanta business at gunpoint Friday.
The men allegedly went to the Dollar General at 807 Cascade Avenue around 6 p.m. and pointed a handgun at the cashier, police said in a news release Wednesday.
The cashier told the two she couldn’t open the register at that time, so the two left the store without taking anything, the release said.
The suspect wielding the gun was described as approximately 6 feet tall and wearing dark clothing, a white knit hat and thick-framed glasses.
The second suspect was also described as about 6-foot with short twisted dreads, the release said. He was wearing a red-and-black plaid coat with a while collar along with a black shirt, black pants and black shoes.
