The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a robbery at a convenience store at 656 Beal Parkway near Fort Walton Beach. According to OCSO, a man held a knife to the clerk’s stomach during the armed robbery. The clerk was not injured during the robbery.
The clerk informed authorities that two young Hispanic men entered the 24/7 Quickmart around 5:30 a.m. and walked behind the counter with a knife. The robbers took cash, a change jar, and THC cartridges. One suspect was wearing a short-sleeve shirt with cats and hats on it. He had two silver chains, black pants, and black Vans-style shoes.
The second suspect was wearing light or grey colored jeans, a black t-shirt, and a camo-style button-up. The second suspect was wearing a black hat that said “nah homie” in cursive. OCSO says the suspects left the store and headed north on Beal Parkway.
