A string of robberies since mid-September is the work of the same group of criminals, according to the Atlanta Police Department, which is seeking the public’s help in catching the suspects.
APD released images of the suspects, who have hit fast-food restaurants, gas stations and an auto parts store between Sept. 18 and Oct. 10. The robberies generally occurred between 8 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.
