The Gallup Police Department is looking for two men involved in the robbery of the Family Dollar Store located at the American Heritage Shopping Center April 5.

According to police, the two men came in and robbed the clerk of an unspecified amount of money at knifepoint. During the robbery, one of the men was heard saying “Get the gun. Get the gun,” according to the report. However, no gun was displayed during the robbery.

Police have video surveillance of the incident which shows that both men were black. Both were wearing caps, but had no covering over their faces.

The first suspect is described as about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a slim build. He was wearing faded jeans, brown slippers, a red, white and blue jacket, and a red Tommy Hilfiger cap. The second is described as close to 6 feet tall, and wearing an all-black warm up suit, with a Pittsburgh Steelers cap, and black and white shoes..

The two were seen on video getting into a silver four-door vehicle, that could be an SUV, possibly a newer model Hyundai Santa Fe, which may have been driven by a third person.

Anyone with any information on the robbery can get in contact with Chaco Chischilly at (505) 728-8665 or Metro Dispatch at (505) 722-2231.
