Woman Robbed at Gunpoint Near Alon's

A woman was robbed at gunpoint near early Saturday morning, according to a post on the VaHi Security Patrol website.

The woman told police that four men in a van pulled up next to her as she was walking along the 1300 block of N. Highland Avenue just after 1 a.m. Saturday morning.

According to the post on the FBAC website, a man “pointed a shotgun in her face and told her ‘give me everything.”’

The men sped off after the victim gave them her purse, the report said.

A patrol officer that arrived at the scene said “he noticed a black colored van (GMC Safari van) traveling northbound on Lenox Rd.” a few minutes before the report of the robbery. The officer said he saw the van “turn quickly” onto a street off Lenox Road and tried to follow but failed.

An Atlanta Police Department spokesman said no arrests have been made in connection with the robbery as of Monday afternoon.

Anyone with any information about the incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or call 911.
