Police Search For Two Convenience Store Armed Robbery Suspects
January 6, 2016
The Atmore Police Department is looking for two masked men that robbed a local convenience store.
About 7:53 p.m. Monday, Atmore police responded to a robbery at the Diamond Oil Station on Howard Street.
When officers arrived, the store clerk advised two men entered the store wearing masks covering their faces. One of the suspects stood in front of the counter and brandished a handgun, while other suspect ran behind the counter and grabbed close to $1,700.00 in cash, according to Police Chief Chuck Brooks. The suspects then fled the store on foot.
The clerk was not injured during the robbery.
Police created a perimeter around the store. A K-9 team from the Alabama Department of Corrections assisted with the unsuccessful suspect search.
Anyone with information on the armed robbery is asked to call the Atmore Police Department at (251) 368-9141.

As a 20 year convenience store manager in a very high volume store, why in the heck is there $1700 in the cash drawer????
they are the same outfits as the scotts pharmacy
This is similar to the dollar general robbery in flomaton back in 2014. Wonder if it’s the same people
This store is always getting robbed… Police needs to be in this area more often instead of sitting to the side parked and talking with fellow co-workers ALL THE TIME… Its not like it was really late… Its was almost 8pm.. Not judging or going against our law enforcement but same areas keep getting robbed over and over.. Something is wrong with that picture.. For this to be a small town, so much is going on….
These guys seem to be getting around between Al & Fl if they are the same as the pharmacy thieves. We need some special forces action to get these guys.
