Two males robbed a Point Breeze establishment Sunday.
Authorities responded to a call from 20th Street Food Market, 1740 S. 20th St., at 1:57 p.m. and met with the store manager, who told them two unknown individuals entered his business with their faces covered and gloves on, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One pointed a black handgun at the proprietor before going around the counter to take $500, cartons of cigarettes and the manager’s cream-colored purse containing $40, identification, a ring and passport.
After the initial heist, the offenders had the witnesses kneel down on the floor and removed an unknown amount of cash from them before heading northbound on 20th Street. The owner described the first as black, 5-foot-8 and in his mid 20s; having a medium build; and wearing a blue jacket and black pants; and the second as black, 5-foot-8 and in his mid 20s; having a medium build; and wearing a gray zip-up hoodie with a light blue hood and sleeves, black pants and black sneakers.
