Hall County deputies seek man in armed robbery at Buford’s Dollar General

The Hall County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a man who is accused of an armed robbery at a Buford business Friday evening, authorities said.

Deputies, as well as Flowery Branch and Gainesville police officers, responded to the armed robbery at the Dollar General store near the intersection of Atlanta Highway and Ga. 347 around 9:30 p.m., sheriff’s office spokesman Derreck Booth said.

Two women who works at the store told deputies a man held them at gunpoint and “robbed them of an undisclosed amount of the store’s cash while inside of the business,” Booth said. The women weren’t injured.

The victims described the man as being between 25 and 30 years old with a buzz cut hair. He wore black shoes, khaki pants, a black shirt with a Star Wars graphic design and a white face mask.

Anyone with information on the suspect or his whereabouts is asked to call the sheriff’s office at (770) 533-7687.
