A Midville man has been arrested for his alleged role in two armed robberies in Statesboro earlier this month.
The Statesboro Police Department says officers responded to Enmarket #753 at 1690 Fair Road on June 1, 2023 around 2:39 a.m. According to the clerk, a male with a firearm entered the store and took money from the register before fleeing.
At 4:05 a.m., the same male entered the Enmark #505 at 565 Northside Drive East and robbed the clerk at that location. No one was injured in either incident.
In the days that followed, detectives released surveillance footage of a distinctive insignia on the robber’s jacket and networked with other agencies in Eastern Georgia
on similar cases. Based on a collaborative effort between various state and local agencies , 22-year-old Cordell Cobb of Midville, Georgia was taken into custody by law enforcement in Burke County on June 16.
He is charged with a variety of offenses in several jurisdictions and will at some point be returned to Bulloch County for processing on Armed Robbery charges for the events of June 1, 2023.
