VALDOSTA, Ga. — Fast-acting Walmart employees foiled an attempted robbery at the Inner Perimeter Road store Thursday afternoon.

Originally, authorities thought two men were involved in the robbery; two men were initially taken into custody, but one man was released after further investigation, said Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress.

The other man has been identified as the offender, the chief said.

At approximately 4:30 p.m. Thursday, a man entered the Walmart at 3274 Inner Perimeter Road; he approached a cashier in the Money Center. He handed her a note demanding money, according to a report from the Valdosta Police Department.

The man suggested he had a weapon.

Walmart employees “quickly and quietly” called police.

City police and Lowndes County sheriff’s deputies arrived at the store.

The man was arrested. No injuries were reported.
