Monday Armed Robbery Of Pine Forest Road Dollar General Under Investigation
August 2, 2021
The search continues for a suspect in the Monday armed morning robbery of an Dollar General store on Pine Forest Road.
A white male armed with a gun walked into the Dollar General on Pine Forest just north of Highway 297A about 9:23 Monday morning and asked the clerk for $5. He fled in a yellow car with “small amount” of cash, according to Amber Southard, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
No additional information was available. We will post an update if surveillance images or additional details are released.

$5. He used a gun for $5?
How many more times is this gonna get robbed? They really need to do something.
The one by our house has always been severely under staffed since it opened. You have to continually wait for someone to check you out. Use to have a bell you could ring. The Associate said they had to stop using it because management said it wasn’t professional. I guess it is more professional to leave us standing there wondering if anyone is working. Just saying, no such thing as Customer Service any more. We’re to blame as the consumers no longer take the time to call & complain about the service or the high ups just don’t care. It’s every where, even before Covid, so it’s not like you can stop shopping at one place and go some where else that has better service. Only store that is awesome is Dillards! As a consumer take the time to complain and hopefully things will change. I hope the associate it ok. This can be traumatic.
@SueB –
What Dollar General are u referring to? This one is the one on Pine Forest Road NORTH of Nine Mile Rd. Sits in plain view of road.
Store is hidden from street view.
These store owners can’t afford a surveillance system? Good Lord! As many times as it’s been robbed, you’d think the owners would have better sense.
Sad to say all Dollar Generals are easy targets. The stores have a high turn over rate due to not having the proper staffing. Managers are to worried about staying under in their payroll so their bounous will be a good . I have seen stores with only one running the store. Totally uncalled for.
Earlier today while I was at practice for JROTC at pine forest high school. and we heard sirens thinking it was the volunteer fire department heading to a fire!. But I’m truly shocked that this had happened
Well.
Maybe the proposed DG on Hwy 29 can take some of the pressure off the other locations.
/S
If it’s multiple times it could be an “inside job”.This entire place from Century to Pensacola Beach is just terrible now days. Not a day goes by that there isn’t something insane happening. Our poor kids…
Yeah Marshall
Quick 40 bucks
Back in the good ole days they would at least wait for the sun to go down..
I’m not sure but I do believe that’s the one my son was working at when they were held up years ago
. I still get upset watching the video of it.
It’s like that Dollar General is on the criminals list as an easy mark. It’s been robbed multiple times.
