On Tuesday, Nov. 14, at approximately 9:54 a.m., officers responded to a robbery complaint at AT&T, 3730 Airport Blvd., Mobile, according to an MPD news release.

INCIDENT LOCATION:

Upon arrival, officers learned that two people had entered the store — which sells wireless products, including mobile phones — claiming they planned to make a purchase.

One of the people asked to use the restroom and, while in the back of the store, gained “unauthorized access” to a storage area, according to the release.
