ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. — Workers at a local adult store had to plead with violent robbers while being beaten and terrorized at gunpoint, deputies told Channel 2 Action News.
Rockdale County investigators said the robbery and kidnapping happened inside Starship Store on Highway 138 in Conyers.
"Armed robbery in itself is very violent, but these guys were aggressive and violent. It was pretty brazen," a spokesperson for the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office told Channel 2 Action News.
Officials said the robbers barged in and ordered everyone to the floor. Moments later, they cleared out the register and forced employees to lead them to the safe, where they assaulted both employees.
