Suspect Assaults Employees during Robbery

(Norcross, Georgia)  The Gwinnett County Police Department Robbery Unit needs the public’s help in identifying the suspect responsible for a recent robbery.

On Wednesday, March 6, at around 3pm, a young man walks into the laundromat at 865 Indian Trail Road in unincorporated Norcross in inquire about getting a job.  When the employee tells him that they are not hiring, he became irritated. 

The man made several attempts to enter the “employee-only” area of the business.  At one point, he physically pushed the employees.  The suspect later reached over the counter, through the glass partition, and grabbed a bowl of coins.  He ran to the back of the business with two employees chasing him.  He eventually ran towards the front door.  The employees were able to wrestle the coins from his grasp, and the money fell to the ground.

The suspect fled the business, and the employees called 911.

Now that this case is assigned to a detective, we need assistance in identifying the suspect.  According to the surveillance video of the incident, the suspect is described as a black male, 16-19 years old, 5-05 to 5-07 tall, 150-160 lbs., black hair, wearing a light-beige North Face hoody, blue jeans, black shoes, and a book bag with black and white designs.

If anyone has any information to share in this case, please contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300.  To remain anonymous, tipsters should contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit www.stopcrimeATL.com.  Crime Stoppers tipsters can receive a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.  Case Number:  19-020780
