Three masked men held up the Rite-Aid store on Ga. Highway 74 and Palmetto Road Sunday night just before closing. No one was injured in the robbery.

Tyrone Det. Steve Lafferty said employees reported three black males carrying handguns entering the store at approximately 9:45 p.m., just minutes before the pharmacy was due to close.

Each of the men were wearing hoodies and masks so that only the area around their eyes was visible, Lafferty said, adding that the men also wore gloves.

Rite-Aid staff complied with the demand to let the men into the manager’s office, Lafferty said. The men fled the store with an undisclosed amount of cash, said Lafferty. Information pertaining to a possible get-away vehicle is currently unknown, he said.

“They seemed to know what they were doing,” Lafferty said, commenting on statements by a Rite-Aid loss prevention officer who said the specifics of the Tyrone robbery matched 14-15 other recent armed robbers of Rite-Aid stores across metro Atlanta.

Anyone with information relating to this armed robbery is asked to contact Tyrone Police at 770 487-4732.
