Man Robbed in Parking Lot

Customers and the clerk of a local auto parts store told police they saw the man who later robbed another customer in the parking lot.

The 31-year-old male victim said he was in the South Tennessee Street store Wednesday and left around 9 p.m. As he walked to his vehicle, the robber grabbed the man by the neck from behind.

The victim, a Cartersville man, said he tried to push the robber off, at which time the man aged 20 to 30 who was wearing black, reached in his pocket, taking a wallet, debit card and cell phone, all together valued at $120.

The victim then attempted to chase the suspect through the parking lot toward Puckett Street.
