Police are still searching for one man involved in a SWAT incident Saturday night in Chamblee.
Three men broke into a Wireless World Cellphone store on Chamblee Dunwoody Road around 8:30 p.m. and tied up a store employee, police told Channel 2 Action News. Police said the men tripped a silent alarm.
Investigators told Channel 2 that the first officer on the scene saw a man run out a side door with a gun. The officer fired one shot, but the man got away. Police said they are not sure if the man was struck.
Police said the store manager had remote access to the store’s security cameras, aloowing officers to watch the two remaining suspects.
They climbed up in the ceiling to try to get away or hide. When they did, the employee who was tied up was able to flee the store unharmed, Chamblee police Chief Marc Johnson told Channel 2. Police said the two men who hid in the ceiling gave up and were taken into police custody without incident. Police have not identified the suspects.
