Atlanta police are looking for two men caught on camera during a tense robbery at a 76 gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, where one suspect allegedly threatened to shoot a caller while the other casually walked off with a frozen drink. No arrests have been made, and detectives say the case is still very much active.
The Atlanta Police Department's Robbery Unit has released clear surveillance stills showing the pair inside the 76 at 3221 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Investigators say the incident happened last Thursday and are hoping someone recognizes the men and comes forward, according to 11Alive.

One suspect allegedly threatened to shoot the caller while the other grabbed a frozen drink and took off, according to 11Alive. The images released by police show the men's faces and clothing from multiple angles.
