The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a robbery at a Macon Family Dollar, the second one at this same location in June.

The robbery took place Monday at 10:00 a.m. at 4925 Bloomfield Road.

The BCSO said the suspect is a male, and he entered the store with a gun. After getting an undisclosed amount of money from the store clerk, he fled the store. Nobody was injured during the incident, said the BCSO.

The suspect was wearing all dark clothing and a mask, said the sheriff’s office in a press release.

The first robbery of the store this month was on June 6. The BCSO said investigators have not apprehended the suspect in that case.
