Police in Athens, Tennessee are asking for the public’s help after a string of early morning armed robberies at convenience stores in the area.

Athens Police say the robberies happened on Monday and Tuesday of this week.

According to a statement, officers were called to the Jiffy Mart convenience store on Congress Parkway around 4 a.m. October 5.

There, the clerk told police a man had come in, showed her a weapon, and then demanded money.

Surveillance video of the incident showed that the suspect is White, and was wearing a gray sweatshirt with a green shirt underneath, along with sunglasses, a surgical type mask, and a hat. Police say the hat was either gray or khaki, and appeared to have an orange Realtree decal on it.

The next day, officers were called around 6 a.m. to the Aztec convenience store on Eastanallee Avenue on another robbery call.

Police believe this incident may have also been committed by the same suspect.

Anyone with information on either of these incidents is asked to call police at 423-745-7698.
