Suspect Sought In Craigslist iPhone Robbery

Norcross, GA -- Police are looking for tips in the case of a man they say pretended to want to buy an iPhone off of Craigslist before snatching the phone and making a run for it.

On Sunday, December 13, the suspect (pictured above) called the victim, saying he was interested in buying an iPhone the victim had advertised on the online sales site, police say.

The two arranged to meet at the Shell gas station at 5500 Jimmy Carter Blvd. in Norcross.

Once there, they discussed the transaction until, the victim says, the suspect snatched the phone from his hand and ran behind the gas station.

There, the suspect got into a silver or gray Dodge Durango and drove away.
