Sept. 19. Two employees at Good Clean Fun, a woman-owned playground cleaning and maintenance company on Northline Drive, were robbed at gunpoint early this morning.

The incident took place between 6:40 am and 6:45 am and the perpetrator, described as a thin black male in his mid- to late 20s, fled the scene on foot toward Bailey Road and Highway 115/Old Statesville Road.
