Atlanta police are looking for a man suspected of robbing two Family Dollar stores last month.
Authorities released a surveillance video of the robberies on YouTube on Wednesday.
In each robbery, a man went to the counter as if to purchase an item, then pulled out a handgun and demanded cash. On Dec. 21, the man got away with about $360 from the Family Dollar at 3050 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, according to the police report. In the second robbery, on Dec., 23, only about $40 was stolen from the store at 2779 Lakewood Avenue. In both cases, the man left the scene in a red SUV.
The suspect is described as a white male wearing a light blue hoodie, a red hat, blue jeans and white shoes.
Anyone with information on the robberies can contact Crime Stoppers Atlanta by calling 404-577-8477, visiting www.crimestoppersatlanta.org online or texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637). Tipsters can remain anonymous and be eligible for the reward of up to $2,000 for the arrest and indictment of the suspect.
