Crime Blotter, Sept. 9-11

Robbery at knifepoint at Lake Louise Apartments
Two young men who were visiting a friend at Lake Louise Apartments, 3201 Henderson Mill Rd., were robbed at knifepoint by two male suspects Sept. 9, DeKalb County police said.

The two men were visiting their friend around 9pm, but the friend wasn’t home, so the two victims were walking away when the suspects approached. The suspects had been hiding in a dark area along a tree line in the complex. The first suspect held a knife up to the second victim and said both of them should put their belongings on the ground, which they did. One of the suspects said “get out of my neighborhood” during the incident. The two suspects then ran off and police were able to recover one of the victims’ gold chain necklaces.

Items stolen included a black Samsung cell phone, $2 cash from each victim, a black wallet and a state and ID card from one victim.

The first suspect was described as a black male, about 5 feet 7 inches, thin build, 18 years old with short hair and a black bandanna covering his face from the nose down and armed with a knife. The second suspect was described as a black male, about 6 feet, thin build, possibly 17 years old with short hair, a green polo shirt and dark skinny jeans.
