Robbers Take 8000 At Jim's Cardinal Market
Two masked gunmen robbed Jim's Cardinal Market on Route 50 Friday night taking about 8000 in cash checks and food stamps. They fled in a stolen car found a mile away as the Athens County Sheriff's Office continued searching for suspects Saturday. The manager and assistant manager were forced to lie on the floor while the thieves grabbed a bank deposit bag and left after ripping the telephone cord. A painter nearby did not see the crime. The case follows a separate Athens robbery earlier in the week.
