Two people are behind bars Wednesday after police say they are responsible for several grocery store robberies.

Last week, Douglasville police officers were called to the Kroger on Hwy. 5 about a strong-armed robbery.

Kaitlyn Gardner, 21, and Daimond Hill, 22, both from Memphis, Tennessee, were identified as the suspects.

Investigators say the pair went into the store, began to purchase items, then snatched the cash register from the worker before running away, authorities say.

Minutes later, officers were called to the Aldi on Chapel Hill Road for a similar strong-armed robbery.

Officials were able to get a description of the getaway car and spotted it on eastbound I-20 near Fairburn Road.

The pair turned off the headlights of the car and began speeding. Deputies with Douglas County began to assist with the chase, while the suspects got off at the Thornton Road exit.

Deputies continued to pursue them until Lee Road, where the chase ended.

Gardner and Hill are being charged with robbery by sudden snatching.

Authorities believe the duo may have also been involved in robberies in Alabama and Tennessee.
