The attack took place on March 5 at the store on Howell Mill Road, but detectives have had trouble identifying the suspect "due to her using several false names to get driver's licenses and even rent an apartment," the post said.

If you recognize the suspect or know where she might be, you may call Crime Stoppers at 404 577-8477. All callers may remain anonymous and are eligible for a cash reward up to $2,000 if their tip leads to an arrest.
