DOUGHERTY COUNTY, Ga. (WALB) — Police are asking for the community’s help finding a woman accused of robbing an Albany Dollar General at gunpoint.

Dougherty County Police Department (DCPD) said the armed robbery happened around 10:45 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28 at the Dollar General on Hill Road.

Authorities believe a woman dressed in all black clothing robbed the store with a large-caliber handgun and drove off in a small black SUV driven by another woman. Police now believe the woman who drove the SUV had no idea about the robbery. She has been cleared of any wrongdoing by police.

“The suspect, described as a Black female dressed in all-black clothing, held one clerk at gunpoint and threatened to harm him if he did not open the safe. She then took money from the safe and both cash registers before forcing both clerks into the store’s office.”

DCPD says the suspect is considered “armed and dangerous” and anyone who sees her should not attempt to confront her.

Anyone who can identify them is urged to contact DCPD or Albany Area Crime Stoppers.
