Peachtree City police are on the lookout for a man who robbed a convenience store early Monday morning with a message of love written on his clothing, but an assault rifle in his hands.

PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. - A man wearing a hoodie with a bible verse on it robbed a Peachtree City Circle K with an AR-15 style rifle, police say. Now, he is on the run having broken one of the Ten Commandments.

It happened just after 2 a.m. Monday morning at the Circle K on Crosstown Drive at Joel Cowen Parkway. Peachtree City Police say the thin-built, light-skinned man pointed his rifle at the clerk and demanded she fill up his bag full of cash from the register.

The man got away with about $100, police say.

The man, who pay say is about 5-feet-8-inches tall, was wearing all black, except for his hoodie, which reads "Love never fails," a famous bible verse from 1 Corinthians 13:8.

No shots were fired and no one was injured.
