Perdido Dollar General Robbed At Gunpoint

February 13, 2014

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an armed robbery at the Dollar General store in Perdido, AL.

About 9:30 p.m. Monday night, two men — one armed with large pistol and the other armed with a large rod, stick or pipe — held up the store.

The suspects demanded money and cigarettes before ordering the two store clerks into a restroom. They fled on foot after taking approximately $1,000 in cash and about 11 packs of Newport cigarettes, according to theĀ  Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office.

Both men were described as wearing black pants and jackets, bandannas cover their faces and hair and gray gloves. One suspect was wearing a light blue ball cap.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to contact the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office at (251) 937-0202.

Perdido, AL, is located just a couple of miles northwest of Nokomis, FL, or about six miles west of Atmore.

    I bet these R the same ones that robbed the family dollar by the Pig in Davisville. One hit one lady in the knee cap and the other guy put a gun to the other clerks head.The ladys never went back to work after that. I wouldn’t.either

    I’m glad the article didn’t report any injurys; however, I hope the clerks will be able to mentally recover from this ordeal. These employees will be in my prayers.
