After a Wednesday night armed hotel robbery, the Franklin Police Department is looking for two male suspects.
Shortly before 1 a.m., two males – with bandanas covering their faces –entered the Baymont Inn at 4206 Franklin Commons Court.
According to the news release, one suspect came armed with a gun and the other with a knife. They approached the clerk and announced the robbery.
The clerk complied with the robbers’ demands, and the suspects fled after getting the money.
Police said no one was hurt, but the search is now on for the suspects and the newer model burgundy or burnt orange Ford Expedition that drove them away.
In the video, a blonde female – believed in her late teens to early 20s – can be seen waiting in the getaway vehicle during the robbery. One of the male suspects was wearing a grey sweatshirt with an orange “E.” Detectives have confirmed it to be an Ensworth High School sweatshirt from about five years ago.
The Franklin Police Department is offering a $5,000 reward for information in this case. If you have any information, call Franklin Police (615) 794-2513, or Crime Stoppers: (615) 794-4000.
