Orlando police are investigating after a UCF-area AT&T store was robbed on the morning of New Year’s Day.
Shortly after 11:40 a.m. on Thursday, an armed black male suspect entered the AT&T store and forced two employees into a back room while he took an undisclosed amount of cash, cell phones and other merchandise, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
The suspect then fled the store, leaving the employees unharmed. Robbery detectives are working to obtain AT&T surveillance video and interview witnesses.
This is not the first time an Orlando-area AT&T store was robbed. On Dec. 23, there was a similar armed robbery at the AT&T store on East Colonial. Detectives are looking into whether these robberies are connected.
