SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Sandy Springs police investigators are looking for two women who allegedly kidnapped a victim and robbing her at gunpoint.

Officers were dispatched just after 1 p.m. April 8 to an apartment complex in the 6900 block of Roswell Road and met with a woman, who recounted the incident to police.

According to an incident report released by the police department, the victim said she was walking out of her apartment unit when a four-door silver or gray Honda sedan pulled up to her. The woman behind the wheel of the car told the victim she needed help because "her mother, who was seated in the back seat, was about to faint," the report states.

An older woman in the back seat of the car opened the door and asked for help, but the victim refused.

That's when things began to get dangerous, the report notes. The older woman suddenly told the pedestrian to get into a vehicle. When she refused, the victim said the woman allegedly pulled out a black semi-automatic pistol, pointed the firearm at her and once again repeated her demands, according to the report.

The victim complied and once she got into the car, the vehicle left the apartment complex and turned south on Roswell Road.

During the trip, the woman told police she was robbed of $200 in cash, an Android smartphone, a pair of gold earrings, gold necklace, gold elephant charm, gold bracelets and gold rings. Those items were believed to be collectively worth around $6,950, the report notes.

After they stripped the victim of her valuables, the suspects forced the woman out of the car.

The driver is described as a light-skinned Hispanic female who appeared to be around 35 years old. She was sporting a short hairstyle, and was wearing a white jacket and blue hat with a red and blue flower emblem. The older woman was also described as a Hispanic woman with darker skin and possibly around 50 years old.

She had medium length hair and was wearing black pants and a gray jacket. The victim said she believed the women "sounded" like they were from Central or South America, according to the report.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477). You can also text your tips to CRIMES (274637) or visit the organization's website.
