The Valley Police Department and Central Alabama Crime Stoppers are asking for the public’s help in identifying two suspects that robbed KFC on Dec. 27.

The restaurant, located at 3006 20th Avenue, was robbed by two unknown suspects wearing dark ski masks and dark clothing. One suspect was wearing white shoes and a gray hoodie, according to a press release from Central Alabama Crime Stoppers.

When officers arrived on scene Dec. 27, they made contact with a KFC employee who told police that employees were leaving when two suspects forced employees back inside. One of the suspects used force and grabbed an employee by the throat, physically pushing the employee back inside.

Investigators said the suspect appeared to be armed with a weapon during the robbery. The weapon was not identified in the press release.

The suspects stole property and left the scene in an unknown red automobile toward a nearby neighborhood.
