Police Searching For Armed Robbery Suspects

Shortly after midnight Beaufort Police Officers were called to the business at 109 Robert Smalls Parkway in reference to a freshly committed armed robbery.

Witnesses advised the officers that two masked subjects armed with handguns accosted an employee who was emptying trash and forced him into the back door of the business.

Once inside one of the subjects forced the manager to provide them with money from the safe while holding him at gunpoint. The other subject ordered the other employees into the meat freezer where they remained until the incident concluded. 

No one was injured in the incident and the suspects fled with an undisclosed amount of money.

The suspects are described as two African-American males dressed in dark clothing and wearing ski masks. One of the subjects had a darker complexion than the other.

Both were armed with handguns.

They fled the area in a newer model Ford F-150 pick up truck which was white or light gray in color.

Anyone with information on this case is requested to call Investigator Re at 322-7960, the Beaufort Police Tip Line at 322-7938 or the 24 hour dispatch office at 524-2777.
