CALDWELL COUNTY, NC (WBTV) - Investigators need the public's help to find two armed robbers. They believe the men may be connected to two separate incidents, one in Hudson and one in Granite Falls.
Before 5 a.m. Saturday, two men with handguns robbed the Dari Freeze restaurant on Main Street in Hudson. They got away with an employee's purse and a cashbox.
No one was hurt.
Then, around 6:30 a.m. Saturday, two men with handguns robbed the Fast Stop on South Main Street in Granite Falls.
A customer, 59, was kicked in the stomach and pistol-whipped. He was taken to the hospital, but is expected to be OK. The clerk was not hurt.
In both cases, the gunmen were described similarly as white men wearing dark-colored hoodies and camouflage pants. The getaway car was described as a white, four-door sedan.
In Granite Falls, the suspect description is more detailed. One man is described as between 5'7" and 5'10" and about 180 pounds with a black mustache and black shoes. The second man is described as 5'10", wearing flip flops.
If you know anything about either incident, please call the Caldwell County Crime Stoppers at (828) 758-8300.
