Dollar General in Little Rock robbed at gunpoint

— Authorities are looking for a man who forced two employees at gunpoint to open the safe and hand over cash at a Dollar General in Little Rock.

Police say it happened about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday at the location at 9500 Satterfield Drive near Rodney Parham Road.

According to a report, the robber approached the two employees outside as they were leaving, pointed a gun at them and told them, "Don't be a hero."

Police say the man then forced the two inside, where he made them disarm the alarm system and open the safe. The latter was equipped with a 10-minute delay, so the gunman forced the employees to stay on the floor while waiting for it to open. When it did, he took an undisclosed amount of cash.

The robber is described as a black man about 5-foot-8 and in his early to mid-50s. He was wearing a black flat cap, a black leather coat, a black hoodie, black pants and white shoes.

No arrests have been made, and no injuries were reported.
