Cobb cops: Armed man kicked stereo shop employee before stealing car
Police are looking for a masked man who they say kicked an employee of a Marietta business before taking his keys at gunpoint and stealing his car Sunday.
Investigators said the supposed robber walked into Vicious Sounds Car Audio, 2025 South Cobb Drive, about 8:15 p.m. with a handgun and forced the employee to the floor behind the counter.
With the employee on the ground, police say the robber kicked the man to get his wallet and car keys. He then left in the man’s black 2005 Mercury Mariner.
Police describe the robber as about 200 pounds and standing between 5 feet and 11 inches and 6 feet and 1 inch.
The cops said he was wearing a black mask, a gray-and-black pullover hoodie, gray jogging pants, shiny black sneakers and gray gloves.
