BETHLEHEM - Authorities in Barrow County are on the lookout for two men who robbed a jewelry store at gunpoint Tuesday morning.<br /> <br /> The two black men entered Kay Jewelers on Loganville Highway in Bethlehem just before 10:30 a.m., according to Sheriff's Lt. Matt Guthas.<br /> <br /> "One of them had a handgun and they robbed the clerk of the store and then took off several minutes later in what's suspected to be a silver Ford Explorer, Mecury Mountaineer," said Guthas. <br /> <br /> The pair got away with an undisclosed amount of jewelry in the silver car. The car also had a luggage rack and sunroof.<br /> <br /> Guthas said both men had thin builds and were between 5'8" and 6' in height. Both were wearing black pants and black shoes; both were wearing orange reflective vests, white hard hats and white dust masks. <br /> <br /> "The clerk was able to see portions of their faces, which allowed him to determine they were black males," said Guthas.<br /> <br /> Anyone with information on the incident should contact the Sheriff's Office dispatch <br /> center at 770-307-3122.
