ROBINS — Police here are asking the public’s help in identifying the man they say entered a Casey’s convenience store and robbed it at gunpoint Wednesday night.
The incident happened around 9:50 p.m. Wednesday when a man entered the store, at 990 Robins Square, and displayed a gun. The man left the store in an unknown direction with a black bag — possibly a garbage bag — with items taken from the store.
