Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement and picture.
Sunday, September 23, 2018 at 9:43 pm, Rankin 911 received a call from an employee at the Shell Service station, located on the corner of Hwy 471 and Baker Lane, stating they had just been robbed by an armed individual. Rankin County Deputies along with Flowood Police were on scene in less than two minutes of receiving the 911 call. In the time it took the store employees to calm themselves, call 911 and deputies arrive on scene, the suspect had left the area.
Store surveillance outside cameras show, what appears to be, a black male wearing camouflaged pants and dark ski mask carrying, what appears to be, a hunting rifle walking round the rear of the building. Luckily, neither employee was at the front counter when the perpetrator entered the building wielding a long gun. The perpetrator entered the store and went straight to the cash drawer taking less than $1000 cash. The perpetrator then exited the store without confronting either clerk.
Sheriff’s investigators have good video of the incident and were able to collect some forensic evidence on scene. They will be looking at other surveillance from neighboring businesses today and trying to develop leads in this case.
If you have any information regarding this robbery, please contact the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department at 601-825-1480 or email adimartino@rankincounty.org

90% of robberies away state the same M.O. (Black Male). Just Saying.
If Judge Karanaught can be accused of sexual Misconduct by 3 women 36 years ago
& after 6 different background checks by the FBI over these many years, I can state the above.
Convience Store need to install HD sullervanince cameras on the outside to gather license plate information at the time of robbery.
Where were the clerks when the robber entered? Sounds like an inside job, remember the Burger King in Madison?
Instead of identifying pictures of storefronts in a collage to prove that anonymous posters aren't machines, they should have to take a spelling test.
10:39 is the daily winner
@9:48
Agreed! Check the clerks' cell phone records for calls made/received just prior to the "robbery" and they might get a lead at to the identity of the robber. How convenient that they were both away from the register when he entered.
10:39 --- then nobody in Mississippi would be able to post comments; just sayin'.

Its "college" stupid
Oh ... never mind
Don't know about convenience store in other areas but where I live there is never anyone at the register. They are somewhere else in the store. Sometimes you will have to leave the store and go somewhere else as they never get to the register.
Not Mr. Patel. He's always at the register. One the phone. Talking jibberish.
