A group of men has stolen $20,000 in cash and cigarettes during two recent Norcross robberies, Gwinnett County police said.

The first robbery occurred on April 22 at a gas station on Beaver Ruin Road. The suspects cut a lock and pried open the door, surveillance video shows.

They “ransacked” the store and stole cash and cigarettes before leaving the scene. They fled in a red Chrysler 300 with a temporary Indiana plate reading C935333, according to police.
