Decatur Police Release Photos of Robbery Suspects

Decatur police have released photos of men suspected of stealing an office worker's purse and laptop July 6. The men distracted the woman and pushed her down before grabbing the items and fleeing.

That incident was classified as a robbery by snatch. The woman wasn't hurt.

The photos come from a DeKalb County music store where the men are suspected of stealing a silver Mercedes on July 4. Here's the release from the police department.

Further investigation revealed video footage at the location where the keys and silver Mercedes were previously stolen on July 4, 2013. In that case three male suspects entered a music store in DeKalb County and inquired about merchandise. Once the suspects left the location, an employee noticed his keys were missing and subsequently his vehicle was missing from the parking lot.  Surveillance video revealed one of the suspects taking the vehicle from the parking lot.

Additionally, the same vehicle was involved in a theft on July 5, 2013.  In that case, a male suspect entered a business in DeKalb County and asked to use the bathroom.  When the employee was distracted, the suspect grabbed her iPhone off of the counter and fled outside to the same silver Mercedes which was occupied by another male suspect. 

The stolen silver Mercedes was found abandoned in south west Atlanta on July 9, 2013.
