APD investigating armed robbery at about 11:15 AM today on N. Hughes...

On 3-2-15, at about 11:15 AM, officers responded to the T&M Discount at 1113 N. Hughes on a robbery.  The victim, an Asian female age 33, and one of the store’s vendors was in the store when it happened.  Two men entered, one armed with a handgun and the second armed with some type of electrical stun-gun type of device.  They ordered the AF and the WM present both to get on the floor.  The suspect armed with the stun gun used it by touching the female clerk’s hip as they were physically forcing her to the floor.  The men took money from the register and bank bags from an area behind the register.  They also took several cartons of cigarettes.  As they were going out, one pulled a camera mounted on the ceiling down, and took it with him.  The suspects then fled west on NW 12th Avenue on foot.  No one was injured in the robbery, and there have been no arrests at this time.  The suspects were unknown race males, both about six feet, one inch tall.  One was wearing a black coat over a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark pants.  The second was wearing a black coat over a black hooded sweatshirt and dark pants.  The men had the hoods up on the coats, and had their faces covered with some type of cloth or mask.  If you have any information about this crime, call the Amarillo Police Department or call Amarillo Crime Stoppers at 374-4400.
