Decatur Police Looking for Men Who Robbed Woman, Then Stole Her Car

The two suspects were wearing hoodies which concealed parts of their faces, police said.

Decatur police are on the hunt for two men they say robbed a woman and then stole her car on Tuesday evening.

Sgt. Jennifer Ross says that the victim was sitting in her gold 2006 Toyota Highlander parked in the driveway of her home in the 100 block of Lockwood Terrace at approximately 10:13 p.m. when she was approached by two black males. Both men were wearing hoodies which partially concealed their faces, but one of them had pulled his right sleeve over his hand to conceal an actual or imaginary handgun, Ross said.

The suspects ordered the woman to get out of her car and surrender all her valuables. The suspects got in the Toyota and drove away; the victim last saw her car being driven northbound on Lockwood Terrace, Ross said. The stolen vehicle has Georgia license plate BGV9792.
