Armed Robbers Steal Phones from Verizon Wireless Store

Two armed men walked into the Verizon Wireless store in North Druid Hills and robbed it of nearly 80 cell phones Tuesday afternoon, DeKalb County police said.

The men walked into the store at 2996 North Druid Hills Rd., and each pulled out handguns and ordered everyone in the store to the ground just before 1pm, the police report said. One of the suspects told people in the store they would "kill them all" if they didn't comply.

There were two customers in the store, the report said.

The robbers then forced a store employee to open the safe, and they emptied 75 cell phones into a black trash bag. They exited through a rear door and left in an unknown direction.

The first suspect was described as a black male, about 6 feet tall and 240 pounds and about 28 years old. He wore jeans, a gray hoodie and a white scarf over the lower portion of his face. He carried a black handgun.

The second suspect was described as a black male, about 6 feet tall and 190 pounds, also about 28 years old. He wore blue jeans and a gray hoodie, and his face was exposed. He carried a black and silver handgun.

No one was injured.
