FBI says man who robbed Marietta Subway is tied to nearly a dozen more holdups across metro

MARIETTA, Ga. — Federal agents say a man suspected of robbing at least 11 stores in metro Atlanta could be responsible for even more.

Marietta police sent out an alert on Tuesday, saying if you recognize the man to call them.

They said the same suspect robbed a Subway in a strip mall off Cobb Parkway at gunpoint on Dec. 28.

Clerks say he was wearing a blue and white hoodie and a ski mask, hiding his face. Then pulled out a gun, demanding money, and ran after the worker handed it over.

FBI Atlanta saw Marietta’s surveillance pictures, and agents said they arrested the robber on Jan. 2.

They identified him as Tracy Mingo Jr.

Now they’re working with Marietta police to add their case to their list.

“We’re not surprised because we actually think he’s probably responsible for more robberies. We’ve only had certain agencies reach out to us that we’re working with, but we think maybe this attention from Marietta, as well as us today, is going to help identify other locations he’s responsible for,” Supervisory Special Agent Matthew Komar with the FBI field office in Atlanta said.

Komar said Mingo has also used costumes as a disguise to sneak up on unsuspecting clerks.

“He’s dangerous. He was targeting female employees at these locations. He would dress up in costumes, kind of be like a security guard, construction worker, Door Dash delivery guy, to where they wouldn’t suspect him at first, then he would pull his gun out,” Komar said.

So far, investigators believe Mingo is responsible for robberies at Circle Ks, Subways, and Family Dollars in Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton, and DeKalb counties. Those cases date back to Oct. 20.
