Dalton, Ga., police seek armed robbery suspects

DALTON, Ga. - The Dalton Police Department is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrests of suspects in an armed robbery Thursday at 613 N. Hamilton St.

The robbery took place about 10:40 p.m. at the La Esquin store.

One black man entered the store and approached the clerk, while a second black man entered the store with a handgun, police said.

The handgun was described as being all-black with wooden grips.

While the second man pointed the handgun at the clerk's head, the first man pulled out a Taser and attempted to tase the clerk twice.

Both men then fled north on Hamilton Street on foot.

One robber is a skinny black man, 6-foot-1 with a salt-and-pepper scruffy beard and yellow teeth wearing a beanie winter hat and dark blue or black coveralls, police said.

The second robber was a larger black man, 6-foot-1, wearing a burgundy, long-sleeved shirt, dark hoodie, beanie winter hat, dark jeans and black winter gloves.
