Couple Robbed At Gunpoint In Candler Park

One victim was struck in the head when he resisted gunman.

Atlanta police are looking for two gunmen who robbed a couple at 1:00 a.m. April 16 as they walked down McLendon Ave. in Candler Park.

The victims told police they were near the Sterling Street intersection when two men, armed with a gun, pounced on them, demanding their belongings.

The gunmen wore bandannas and hoods to cover their faces.

One of the victims resisted, police said, and the gunman hit him in the back of the head with the gun, resulting in a laceration.

The gunmen fled, taking the victims' two mobile phones and a backpack.

Curtis Davenport, an Atlanta Police Department spokesman, told East Atlanta Patch that sketches of the two suspects were not immediately available.

Anyone with information is urged to call 911 or Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404.577.TIPS (8477).

We spotted her last night (Thursday) just before the storm hit and chased her down May to CliftonRead More then up to Glenwood, where we think she turned into that development under construction across from the school. The storm swept in, and we lost her ... she was clearly panicked. Been back on the hunt this morning with no sign. Please call or text us at 423-653-5636 if you spot her!!!

This is a sales pitch, and not a very good one. This development is well over 2 miles from GrantRead More Park; even the map on the developer's site doesn't correctly show where the subdivision is. And where it is, is across Glenwood from Burgess-Peterson ES, where Glenwood is 4 lanes- good luck ever making a left out of there. But if you want to be able to hear I-20, I guess it's a great location.
