Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) investigators hope the community can help identify the three male suspects who robbed two men in an East Hall area gas station parking lot late last year.
At approximately 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 20, sheriff’s deputies responded to a call about an alleged shooting outside of Don Mangum Grocery at 3746 Harmony Church Road.
According to the ongoing investigation, the victims were supposed to meet with the suspects in the parking lot for a pre-arranged transaction to sell them two phones. The suspects arrived in a red Honda Accord and robbed the two victims, who remained in their vehicle.
Two of the suspects were armed, one with a shotgun and another with a hatchet. The individual with the shotgun fired it toward the road during the robbery. The suspect with the hatchet swung it at one of the victims, causing a small cut to the victim’s hand. Following the crime, the three suspects ran back to their car and left the area. No other injuries were reported.
Investigators are asking that anyone with video of the crime, information on the identity of the suspects or information on their whereabouts to contact Detective Buffington at 678-630-9773.
