TPD continue search for suspect responsible for armed robbery

Toccoa Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying the man responsible for the recent armed robbery of a Toccoa home.

According to Toccoa Police Chief Jimmy Mize, on February 7, officers were dispatched to 532  Collins Road in reference to a robbery.

Mize tells WNEG News that the homeowner was in his dining room when a black male wearing a black mask, black hoodie, jeans and black gloves fired a shot through his living room wall.

The suspect then walked into the house, placed a gun on the homeowner’s face and demanded money.

According to Mize, the homeowner is confined to a wheelchair.

The suspect walked all through the house looking for items, before taking $300 in cash from the homeowner’s wheelchair bag.

Before leaving, the suspect pushed the wheelchair over into the  floor.

The police have released photos of the suspect for the public to assist in identification.

Anyone with information is urged to call the Toccoa Police Department at 706-886-8451.
