Dollar General robbed

Shreveport police need the public's help in identifying two men who robbed a Dollar General at gun point last night.

Shortly before 9:00 PM last night, two black males entered the Dollar General in the 8100 of Line Ave. Suspect number one ,5' 9" tall, 160 lbs., young looking, wearing a black hooded zip up jacket, a white cloth over his face, black gloves and black pants armed with a .40 caliber handgun, entered the store and immediately fired one shot into the ceiling.

The second suspect wore extremely sagging designer blue jeans, which exposed his print boxers, white socks on his hands and had a white T-shirt tied over his head and resembled the first suspect in height, weight and age.

Both suspects exited the store with an undetermined amount of money and ran Northbound towards the Pines Road apartments.

Anyone having any information as to the identification of either of the suspects are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 673-7373 or 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www.crimestoppersshreveportcaddo.com

Information can be left with Crime Stoppers at 673-7373 or by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at www.crimestoppersshreveportcaddo.com.
