Suspect On The Run After Atmore Convenience Store Robbed At Gunpoint

December 9, 2019

Atmore Police are investigating a weekend convenience store armed robbery.

About 2:07 Saturday morning, the Circle K at 901 West Nashville Avenue was robbed at gunpoint.  The clerk told Atmore Police that a male dressed in all black clothing entered the store and asked about the price of cigarettes. He then pulled a firearm and demanded cash, Atmore Police Chief Chuck Brooks said Monday.

The suspect fled the store on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.

The Atmore Police Department quickly established a perimeter around the store, but a manhunt for the suspect turned up empty.

The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information on the armed robbery is asked to call Atmore Police at  (251) 368-9141.
