MOULTRIE, GA (WALB) - After two robberies, the manager of the Chevron Gas station in Moultrie says he's taking steps to try to prevent any more robberies.

A man gets out of the car and walks inside. The masked man dressed in purple pulls out a pistol and walks over to the cashier and fires a shot as he demands money. The robber walks out and gets back into the car.  He got away with nearly $600. This second robbery in only a week has store manager Guru Sckhon scared.

"Surprised too, that this happens in such a peaceful town it use to be a peaceful town it still is," said Guru Sckhon.
