Augusta Residents on the Hunt for Holiday Bounty
This holiday season in Augusta is taking an unexpected turn, and it’s one that may catch the attention of anyone looking for a little extra joy (and cash) during this festive time. A rather eye-catching reward of $150,000 is on the table for anyone who can help law enforcement capture two notorious armed robbers who have recently targeted a local U.S. Postal Service carrier. This is one holiday gift that could truly make someone’s season.
The Heist That Shook Augusta
It all unfolded on the afternoon of November 13 at around 4:55 p.m. in the 3400 block of Jonathan Circle. Imagine this: a 24-year-old postal worker just going about his daily delivery duties, when out of nowhere, he finds himself uncomfortably caught in a dangerous situation. Two suspects confronted him—one dressed head-to-toe in black, who physically restrained him, while the other, sporting a gray hoodie, brandished a gun right against his chest. Talk about a terrifying ordeal!
The Culprits Make Their Escape
After the initial shock of this brazen act, those two suspects made a quick getaway, fleeing on foot towards Marvin Griffin Road—likely counting their loot in their minds. Unfortunately, the specifics on what they stole have not been disclosed, leaving everyone wondering just what could be worth such a serious crime.
