Thieves are at it again.  Another business in Albany was robbed at gunpoint Thursday night.

The Winery is the fifth Albany business to be hit by robbers this week. A witness at the store says a black man about 6 feet tall wearing a blue sweater and jeans entered the store waving a gun and demanded money.  The bandit got the cash and then ran away. 

Some concerned residents are saying these robberies are a sign for people to take back the streets of Albany, and are urging others to get more involved in fighting crime.
