A man was forced to take a ride in his own car before being robbed in broad daylight, Sandy Springs police say.

A suspect with a silver handgun allegedly approached the victim in his driveway on Spalding Creek Court, ordered him into the passenger seat of the victim’s car and drove him to a nearby ATM.

After the victim withdrew cash, the suspect, who was described as being in his late 20s, fled in the vehicle.
