On July 22, Decatur Police responded to a carjacking in the 100 block of Mimosa Place at about 5:40 p.m. An adult woman parked her white 2021 Jeep Cherokee and exited the vehicle. A black, older model Volkswagen Jetta pulled up behind the victim’s vehicle. It was occupied by three men.

One of the suspects pointed a gray handgun at the victim and demanded her keys. The victim complied and the men left the area driving both the Jeep and Volkswagen.

Police later identified the suspect vehicle as a mid-2000’s black four-door Toyota Corolla with a rear spoiler.

On July 23, Decatur Police responded to an armed robbery in the 100 block of Kirk Crossing Drive at about 1:13 p.m. An adult male victim was moving items from his residence outside on Kirk Crossing Drive when he was approached by two men, one of whom was armed with a handgun. The suspects demanded the victim’s car keys.

The suspect with the handgun struck the victim in the face and took the keys. The suspects entered the victim’s vehicle, a silver 2015 Audi A4. They were unable to start the vehicle at first and demanded the victim’s phone. A third man armed with a handgun appeared in the driveway.

The victim was ordered to the ground and told not to look at the suspects, and he complied. The first two suspects were able to start the victim’s vehicle and fled the area. The third suspect fled in a black sedan parked on the street. The victim sustained minor injuries.
