Robbers assault woman carrying home her laundry
A resident of The Park at Briarcliff apartment complex was assaulted by frustrated robbers while carrying her laundry home late Monday night, according to a DeKalb County police report.

The 30-year-old victim had finished doing her laundry in the apartment complex's laundry room at 1410 Druid Valley Dr. at about 11:30pm, the report said. While walking home, she heard steps following behind her and ran. But two men caught up to her and pushed her to the ground and demanded money.

The woman said she had nothing but her laundry card, and the robbers kicked her in the stomach and fled. A police officer saw a bruise on her stomach, and the victim said it was too dark to provide a description of the men, the report said.

Weapons offense or robbery on Meadwood Lane?
A resident of the 3100 block of Meadowood Lane told police an acquaintance pulled a handgun on him in his home Monday morning, according to a DeKalb County police report.

But a neighbor believes the resident is to scared to tell police he was robbed.

Police were called to the home at about 8:35am. The victim told a police officer he left the front door open for an acquaintance whom he let stay with him for the night, the report said. When the victim spoke to the acquaintance, he became upset and pointed a silver and black .357 revolver at his head.

The victim said the man threatened him, and the victim placed $50 on the counter, but the man didn't take it, according to the report. A neighbor across the street told police he believes the victim was too scared to admit he was robbed.

The suspect was last seen walking toward Chamblee Tucker Road.
