Police working to identify armed robber
WOODSTOCK, Ga. -- Woodstock Police are working to identify the man who robbed a gas station earlier this month.
The incident happened on Dec. 7, when investigators say a customer spoke with the store clerk at the Chevron on Arnold Mill Road.
The suspect bought five lottery tickets and then left the station at around 9:45 p.m. He returned 15 minutes later as the clerk was trying to close the store, produced a handgun and demanded money from the cash register.
After giving the man money, the suspect ran from the store, according to the clerk, who sustained minor bruises in the robbery. Police confirmed the clerk's story after reviewing surveillance video.
The clerk described the suspect as a black man in his 30s or 40s. He was wearing a baseball cap, black hooded sweatshirt, jeans and black shoes during the robbery.
Investigators have reason to believe the suspect either lives or has family and friends in the Woodstock area.
