Gwinnett PD and Special Agents Ask for Public's Help in Identifying Armed Robbery Suspect

A $5,000 reward is offered for any information leading to an arrest.

Between May and October this year, an unidentified black male has committed eight armed robberies. Seven of them took place on Jimmy Carter Boulevard, while the eighth took place in Snellville, according to 41NBC.com.

According to Scott Sweetow, Special Agent in Charge of the Atlanta Field Division  of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), "It goes without saying this individual has little to no regard for the safety and welfare of others."

"We will see to it these criminals are removed from our streets so that our communities can remain a safe place to live and prosper," he added.

The robberies have typically taken place in the early afternoon hours and the suspect always brandishes a firearm. He "demands that employees open the cash register and then orders the employees into the rear area of the business," according to 41NBC.com.

Very little evidence has been uncovered, and the ATF and Gwinnett County PD have joined forces to solve these crimes. A $5,000 reward is offered for any information leading to an arrest.
