By ALICE SMITH, Staff Writer ———————————— Lincolnton Police are looking for a man who they say robbed two men at gunpoint early Monday morning. Detective Kameron Keener gave the following account: At about 12:30 a.m. Monday, two men working for Peyton-Dawson Co. were making a food delivery to Bojangles, 1437 E. Main St. They told police they had noticed a vehicle drive through the parking lot twice. One saw the driver. About 30 to 45 minutes after the car’s second drive-through, the men had finished their delivery. They picked up trash and locked the door. That’s when a black male came through the bushes from the direction of G.E Massey Elementary School. One of the men recognized him as the driver of the car. He told the men to take out their money and put it on the ground. Neither had much: one man tossed down $2, and the other threw $7 in a money clip. The suspect, not seeing the money clip, picked up the $2. “They said he became very irate and demanded more money,” Keener said. The suspect told the men he wanted the store’s deposit bags, but they said they didn’t have them. He then pointed the gun at them and told them to lie face down on the ground, which they did. The suspect pointed the gun in the back of the first man’s head and patted him down. Finding nothing, the suspect patted down the second man. He told the suspect he had thrown his money clip down. The suspect saw it, picked it up and ran back in the direction from which he came. The man is a black male, about 5-foot-10-inches tall and 130 to 140 pounds, possibly wearing glasses. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, dark-colored pants and a black stocking cap. He was carrying a nickel-plated revolver. His vehicle is described as possibly being a tan 1982 Oldsmobile Regency. Anyone with information about this crime should call the Lincolnton Police Department at 704-736-8900. All calls will be kept confidential.
