Nearly a month after a Sandy Springs gas station was robbed at gunpoint, police are asking for the public’s help to identify the suspect.
The man is described by police being about 6-foot-5 with medium build. He was wearing a dark jacket with a hood, blue jeans, black gloves and a red mask. He escaped the scene with an estimated $4,000.
The suspect entered the Shell gas station at 5700 Roswell Road just before 10:50 p.m. on Dec. 10. As soon as he walked through the side entrance, he pulled out a silver semi-automatic handgun and pointed it at the cashier.

Police said that the suspect pointed the gun at the cashier’s face and demanded money. There was a hand-to-hand tussle over the weapon before the cashier told the suspect how to open the register.
The suspect reached over the counter, opened the register, took cash and ran out the same door he came in.
Anyone with information regarding this crime is asked to contact detective J.T. Williams at the Sandy Springs Police department or Crime Stoppers of metro Atlanta by calling 770-551-6900. Tips can also be submitted on the department's Facebook page.
