Atlanta police investigators are asking for the public’s help identifying a robbery suspect.
Five victims — one man and four women — told police they were walking on Carroll Street when a dark car, possibly a Toyota Corolla, pulled up alongside them and stopped. Two men allegedly got out and held the victims at gunpoint while demanding their belongings, but police only released one sketch.
The suspects took wallets, phones and a purse shaped like a slice of pizza before fleeing in the car, a Sept. 2 incident report said. One victim told police they’d been walking to Milltown Tavern from Estoria while celebrating a girlfriend’s birthday.
One of the women threw down her purse and ran into the bushes.
Police are asking anyone who may recognize the suspect or has any information on this incident to contact Crime Stoppers. Information can be submitted anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-8477 or online at www.StopCrimeATL.com. A reward of up to $2,000 is available for the arrest and indictment of the suspect.
