SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- The Sandy Springs Police Department needs your help with identifying two suspects accused of committing at least armed robberies of victims who made trips to banking institutions.

The first incident, reported Feb. 22, involved a man who said he was robbed around 12:46 p.m. outside a restaurant where he had lunch.

The victim told police he stopped at Bank of America at 6075 Roswell Road to collect items in his security deposit box, which included business paperwork and deeds for his real estate company, according to an incident report released by Sandy Springs police.

The man left the bank, stopped by Nori Nori at 6990 Roswell Road for lunch and as he was getting into his vehicle, he was approached by a suspect wearing a cloth over his face.

The suspect pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded he hand over "everything he has." Another mask-wearing suspect entered the car through the front passenger door, and took a red bag containing items the victim retrieved from the bank.

Along with taking the bag, the suspects took $15 in cash, the victim's driver's license, Green Card and three financial transaction cards.

The second robbery, reported around 2:47 p.m. Feb. 26, targeted a victim who told police he withdrew $300 from Bank of America at 4492 Roswell Road. The victim made a stop at the Quick Shop convenience store at 5000 Roswell Road where "was attacked by a male wearing all black."

The suspect grabbed the victim's money bag, which resulted in a tug-of-war between the pair. Unfortunately, the victim fell to the ground and lost his grip on the bag. The suspect left the scene in silver vehicle.

Around 3:17 p.m. March 2, a male victim told police that as he was getting into his car at Chevron at 295 Mt. Vernon Highway, he was approached by a man who pointed a pistol at him, and demanded that he hand over a bank bag.

That bag contained $350 in cash, according to the report. The victim complied, and the suspect left the scene in an gray older model sedan driven by another suspect.

According to the report, the victim told police he believed the suspects followed him from a Bank of America branch in Dunwoody to the convenience store.

The suspects are described as two black men who wore dark clothing and had their faces obscured. Police also say they were traveling in a small, silver sedan shown in the video.

Anyone with information pertaining to the suspects is asked to call Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477), visit crimestoppersatlanta.org or text CSA Tip to CRIMES (274637).
