Donation Collector Robbed at Gunpoint

Two men allegedly robbed the Salvation Army donation collector at gunpoint in Lilburn last week.

The 43-year-old donation collector had been on the job in front of the Kroger at 4155 Lawrenceville Highway, says the Lilburn Police report. The incident occurred Nov. 22 around 5:50 p.m.

According to the Lilburn Police report, the collector saw two white males pull up to the curb in a black Isuzu Rodeo.

Believing they were about to make a donation, he walked toward the car.

Instead, the passenger pulled out a black semi-automatic handgun and demanded the donation kettle, the victim said.

The collector handed over the kettle, and they drove away toward Beaver Ruin Road.

The victim was able to get a partial tag number of the vehicle, which he gave to police. The victim also told police the passenger was wearing a blue sweatshirt, but there are no other details in the report about the suspects.

Police observed security video of the Kroger, but police were unable to determine which vehicle on the video is the suspect's. The case is still active with Lilburn PD.
