Mom Robbed in Her East Cobb Kitchen

A gunman robbed an East Cobb woman while she was in her kitchen with her child Monday afternoon.

The man pointed a handgun at the woman and the child and demanded cash from her about 1:30 p.m., spokesman Sgt. Dana Pierce said in a news release Wednesday.

When the woman had no money on her, the gunman took the jewelry she was wearing instead, then fled through the open garage door of the house on Lawrence Mill Run.

Police believe that he entered the house through the garage.

Lawrence Mill Run is a no-outlet residential street in the Princeton Mill subdivision off Robinson Road between Holt and Old Canton roads.

The gunman is described as a 5-foot-10, 200-pound black man age 20 to 25. He was wearing a straight-brimmed, dark-blue New York Yankees hat, a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark blue jeans.

If he’s caught, he will face robbery, burglary and cruelty-to-children charges, Pierce said.

Police ask anyone with information about the case to call 770-499-3945.
