A Mableton Metro PCS and an Austell Waffle House were robbed Wednesday night within a span of nearly five hours.
The Cobb County Police Department is looking for the suspects who robbed two South Cobb businesses Wednesday night.
Just after 7 p.m., a man went inside the Metro PCS store at 5345 Floyd Rd. with a revolver and demanded money, said Officer Mike Bowman, the spokesman for the Cobb County Police Department.
When the suspect got the money, he fled the business on foot and headed toward Fontaine Road.
