Armed Robbery Suspects Assault Victim, Steal $3000 Cash

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA —Gwinnett Police detectives need the public’s help in identifying two men in an armed robbery.

On Aug. 3 the victim came home around 11:30 p.m. As he turned into his driveway, the suspects’ vehicle approaches from the cul-de-sac just past his house.

One man is described as wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, white basketball shoes and a handgun. The other man is described as wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black shoes.
