Resident Robbed at Gunpoint Inside Garage in Johns Creek

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- Detectives with the Johns Creek Police Department continue to investigate an armed robbery of a resident inside her garage.

An officer was dispatched around 7:20 p.m. Nov. 18 to a home in the 10000 block of Glenbarr Drive in Johns Creek.

Upon arrival, the responding officer met with the victim and her husband, who both recounted the terrifying ordeal to authorities.

The woman told police that as she pulled into her driveway and garage, two men ran up from the front lawn to her vehicle demanding money.

One of the men, she said, pointed a black firearm at her during the robbery. Once she opened her door, that suspect snatched her purse.

Both men then bolted for a four-door sedan parked in the road in front of the home and fled the scene.

"In fear of her safety, she didn't put up any confrontation nor did she say anything to them," the officer wrote in his report.

Along with the purse, the victim's Apple iPhone 6 Plus, $200 in cash, two keys, a wallet and several debit and credit cards were stolen.

A motorist who was in the area at the time of the incident told police he noticed a newer model Toyota Corolla parked in front of the home in the middle of the street. As he parked his vehicle across the street, the man said he saw the two suspects run from the home, get into the car and drive away.

The woman described both suspects as black males. One man was described as about 5'11'', roughly 200 pounds, had a round face with no facial hair and was wearing a black jacket and dark-colored blue jeans. The only description of the second suspect provided was that he was also wearing dark blue jeans and a dark jacket.
