Elderly couple attacked in Loganville robbery

Loganville police are looking for three suspects in a brutal Thursday afternoon robbery that left an elderly Walton County couple hospitalized.

The attack happened about 1 p.m. in the couple’s home on Covington Street.

Loganville police Chief Mike McHugh told WSB-TV that two black men approached C.F. Ewing and his wife, posing as potential buyers of Ewing’s pickup truck.

Once inside the couple’s home, the suspects severely beat Ewing and his wife and stole his wallet before fleeing in a late-model dark blue or black Chevrolet or Oldsmobile sedan driven by a third suspect.

Ewing was in serious condition at Gwinnett Medical Center. His wife, identified as F.C. Ewing, was in critical but stable condition at Atlanta Medical Center.

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office and the GBI are assisting in the investigation.
