DUNWOODY, Ga. — Police are investigating a Dec. 12 robbery in the parking lot of 1161 Hammond Drive, across from the Dunwoody MARTA station.
The victim, an 18-year-old Atlanta man, told police he went to the location to sell his Apple MacBook Pro for $500.
The responding officer said the victim found a potential buyer, named “Tony Sharks,” on Facebook Marketplace.
When the victim went to retrieve his laptop from his vehicle, a second suspect wrapped his arm around his neck and threw him to the ground.
Two male suspects then ran toward the MARTA station and were not seen again.
The serial number of the victim’s laptop has been entered into the Georgia and National Crime Information centers as stolen, the responding officer said.
A witness at the scene, a 38-year-old Smyrna woman, said she saw the suspects running across the parking lot with a computer but did not capture the crime on video.
Because surrounding stores were closed at the time of the robbery, follow-up is required, police said.
