Atmore Police Seeking Man Who Robbed Downtown Main Street Business

October 17, 2022

The Atmore Police Department is investigating the robbery of a downtown business.

The man robbed New York Fashions on North Main Street near the Atmore Chamber of Commerce.

“The victim was found by a customer who immediately called 911. Responding officers arrived on the scene and contacted the victim inside the business with a head wound. It appeared the suspect attempted to restrain the victim but was unsuccessful,” Atmore Police Sgt. Darrell McMann said Sunday afternoon.

The victim was treated for his injuries and released.

“Investigators are following up on leads and checking with nearby businesses for any video footage of the suspect,” McMann added.

The suspect was described as a black male approximately 6-foot 3-inches with a medium build. He was wearing a lighter-colored shirt size XL, dark-colored pants, casual style shoes that may have been gray, and a black face mask.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Atmore Police Department at (251) 368-9141.

    Yep JACK. It will get worse. We have to celebrate Jesus’s birthday. Maybe we will get honest with ourselves as to what it is really about. No wonder so many are lost.

    Video surveillance systems are a lot less expensive than they used to be, and a have provided invaluable evidence to help solve a significant number of crimes. The mere presence of cameras often deters crime.

    Praying for the victim for a full recovery. With the Holidays just around the corner, and with high prices on everything, I fear there is going to be a lot of this happening. Sometimes people do desperate things so they can buy either drugs, or that nice gift their kids want, but can’t afford.
