New Year’s Eve Armed Robbery In Flomaton

January 1, 2014

A New Year’s Eve armed robbery is under investigation.

About 5:15 p.m.,  an armed bandit walked into the Cash 2 Go store on Sidney Manning Boulevard (Highway 29) in Flomaton and demanded cash at gunpoint from a store employee, according to Flomaton Police Chief Brian Davis. The suspect, described as a possible black male about six feet tall, then fled the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. There were no injuries reported.

An unsuccessful manhunt followed with officers from the Flomaton Police Department, Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office and Escambia County (FL) Sheriff’s Office and K-9 units from Fountain Prison in Atmore, the Escambia County (FL)  Road Prison and Century Correctional Institution.

The suspect was wearing a ski mask with mouth and eye holes, a white and blue plaid shirt and a dark colored jacket.

“We are looking for tips from anyone that may have seen someone matching the suspect’s description at the Cash 2 Go or any of the surrounding businesses like Dollar General or Hardee’s before the robbery,” Davis said.

Anyone with information should contact the Flomaton Police Department at (251) 296-5811 or their local law enforcement agency.
