Cops: Teen robbed by two men in Gwinnett Publix bathroom

A teen was robbed in the bathroom of a Snellville-area Publix in November, Gwinnett County police said Monday.

The victim was in the restroom of the Publix at 3550 Centerville Highway when two men approached him. They blocked the door and would not let the teen leave until he handed over his iPhone and Apple AirPods, according to police.
