Douglas police released video footage Tuesday of a recent robbery at Clyde’s Market on the Willacoochee Hwy. and are hoping the suspect’s image, mannerisms and voice will lead them to the perpetrator.
Officers responded to the robbery on June 26, where it was reported an individual entered the store wearing a dark hooded jacket, blue jeans, and black gloves. The individual had his face covered with a black mask or cloth. The store clerk told authorities he observed the shape of what he believed to be a gun in the individual’s hand inside his pocket.
The suspect demanded money from the clerk, who complied, giving him an undisclosed amount of cash. The individual fled the scene in a small, white four-door car that was waiting in the store’s parking lot. The vehicle left traveling east on Bowens Mill Rd.
Police state the investigation is ongoing, and it is unknown at this time if the same individual(s) are responsible for another store robbery that took place earlier the same day.
Anyone with any further information that would assist in this case is asked to contact the Douglas Police Dept. at 912-384-2222 or the Tips Line at 912-260-3600. Information can also be shared on the department’s Facebook page.
