Primary tabs

The Georgia Tech Police Department has released video and photos of two men in connection with recent armed robbery in North Avenue Apartments as GTPD and the Atlanta Police Department continue to investigate the case.

The ongoing investigation has revealed that the two suspects were seen at the BP gas station on North Avenue, along with a female in their GMC Suburban vehicle, shortly before coming onto Georgia Tech’s campus to rob the victim. According to police, the suspects parked their vehicle at the gas station before walking toward campus.

The two men entered North Avenue Apartments East by tailgating behind a resident. Once in the residence hall, they went to the top floor staying close to stairways for quick exit routes.

The suspects entered an apartment suite on the seventh floor and surprised a resident who was sleeping in a room with the door open. The two men drew a gun and stole a laptop, cell phone and wallet. No one was injured.

The first suspect is described as a black male in his late teens to early twenties wearing a white shirt and red basketball shorts and armed with a handgun. The second suspect is described as a black male in his late teens to early twenties with short dreadlocks and wearing a black hat, jeans and a black backpack.

Anyone who recognizes these two men, the Suburban vehicle or the female is asked to call Atlanta Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward, police said.
