“Moments later, the back doors to his vehicle opened and two males got into his backseat,” Ross said. “One of the suspects had a rifle. The suspects told the victim to give up what he had and the victim handed over $1,000 in cash and his cell phone. The suspects told the victim to get out of his car and the victim complied. The suspects left in the victim’s car, a brown 2012 Chrysler 300 displaying GA tag CFW9122, driving westbound on West Ponce de Leon Avenue.”
The other vehicle that had parked in the lot also left traveling in an unknown direction. The victim wasn’t hurt.
The suspects were both described as male and one was wearing a black coat, Ross said.
