Armed robbing crew targeting victims at ATMs

ATLANTA — Police are searching for a crew of armed suspects linked to at least three robberies across Atlanta.

Investigators said the crew hit ATMs on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and Moreland Avenue.

They believe it's the same crew that shot a victim changing a tire on Rock Springs Road in Midtown. The man who was shot was fixing a flat tire with a friend when a group of men robbed them.

Detectives said they cannot definitively link these suspects to that case, but they know for sure, that these suspects are behind the ATM robberies.

Police released photos from surveillance video of one of the robberies.

“Two perpetrators will jump out of the vehicle, run up to the victim and rob the victim at that time. One stays in the car,” a police spokesperson said.

At the robbery on Moreland Avenue Tuesday morning, police said the victim was withdrawing money when two armed men ran up behind him and threatened to kill him if he didn’t hand over the cash.

About 40 minutes before that, detectives said the same men targeted another man withdrawing money at an ATM on Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard.

Police are asking if you know the men in the surveillance photos to give them a call.
