Atlanta police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying two men suspected in multiple robberies around the Midtown area.
The robberies both took place May 10 at separate locations: a Dunkin Donuts on Ponce de Leon Avenue and a Kroger at Ansley Mall, Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown said Tuesday.
In both cases, one of the suspects gave an employee a note instructing them to hand over cash or they would “shoot the place up,” according to the incident reports. The Dunkin Donuts employee thought the men were pranking her until one of them brandished a gun and threatened her directly, the report said.

The department’s Robbery Unit released surveillance video of the two suspects from one of the businesses. Investigators also shared photos of the suspects’ car, which they used to flee the scenes of both robberies. Police later confirmed that the car is a silver Chevrolet Cobalt.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Robbery Unit or submit information anonymously to the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477), online www.crimestoppersatlanta.org or by texting CSA and the tip to CRIMES (274637). Tipsters do not have to give their name or any identifying information to be eligible for the reward of up to $2,000.
