Peachtree City police are looking for the driver of a red sport motorcycle who is believed to have robbed the Tires Plus store, holding an employee at gunpoint early Monday evening.

The suspect was described as a black male in his 20s between 5’8” and 5’10” tall, 180 pounds wearing a white T-shirt and either dark shorts or pants, police said. He may have left the area on the red sport motorcycle, police said.

When the suspect entered the store just after 6 p.m. Monday, he demanded money from an employee, removed a handgun from his waistband and pointed it at the employee, police said.

The suspect fled the store on foot and ran toward the Camden apartment complex, police said.

A reward is being offered for anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman, police said.
Call the police department at 770-631-2510. Callers may remain anonymous.

Police were assisted by a K-9 unit from the Fayette County Sheriff's Department and by a helicopter unit from the Georgia State Patrol, police said.

Thank God we gave our councilFOOLS a big raise instead of hiring enough cops for a city our size.

Thank God we are paying for an illegal tennis center loan, and an illegal dump site under the police station. If it wasn't for all of that wasted money, we could have actually hired the right number of police officers for a city of this size.

Note to criminals: do us all a favor and start to target our councilFOOLS, they love you guys anyway. Target them, they don't think we need cops here. They love criminals. They would be happy to give you everything they have.

Where was Barnswallow 1? The perp count is really mounting. This just proves once again the PTCPD needs to git in that Drug Task force & start collecting enough to buy their own Sparrow 1.
We could just skip that & just go st. to Pred-I-tors...not the internet kind, you know, the I-in the-Sky kind.

Not getting much BANG for the buck.

Dunn & Wells were right about more than this I feel.
