The Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office is asking for information in a armed robbery investigation.

Deputies say the incident happened on September 14, at 9:14pm at the Dollar General on S. Chataignier Road.

Two unknown male suspects armed with handguns reportedly entered the store and pointed them at employees while forcing one to the ground.

When the suspects turned their attention towards the register, deputies say employees were able to escape or lock themselves in other areas of the store.

After accessing the register, the suspects allegedly took an unknown amount of money and fled.

Deputies say they were last seen heading south on Chataignier Road.

Anyone with information on the armed robbery is asked to contact the Evangeline Parish Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division at 337-363-2161 or leave a tip on the agency's website www.evangelineparishsheriff.org

All calls will remain anonymous.
