Two arrested in Minit Save robbery, another at large

GAINESVILLE - Two men are in custody and a third suspect remains at large following the armed robbery of an Atlanta Highway convenience store last week.

Hall County Sheriff's Col. Jeff Strickland said 19-year-old Thomas Hilland and 20-year-old James Braddy, both of Gainesville, were arrested Thursday night. Both men were charged with armed robbery and are currently being held at the Hall County Jail without bond.

"On Monday November 1, at approximately 9 p.m., three males wearing masks entered the Minit Save convenience store on Atlanta Highway and demanded money from the clerk," said Strickland.

He said the suspects then fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.

Strickland said authorities are still looking for the third suspect, Keith Lamar Reese.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Reese is asked to call 9-1-1 or the Hall County Sheriff's Office at 770-531-6879.
