Armed Robbery Reported in Norcross Apartment

Inside the Police Reports: The incident occurred late last month at Las Colinas Apartments off Lia Hills Drive.

Two Norcross residents were reportedly robbed last month in off Lia Hills Drive.

According to the Norcross Police report, the victims, a 21-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man, came home around 3:40 a.m. on a Tuesday. They were outside their building when the robbery occurred.

Two women and one man got out of a black Nissan sedan nearby and pointed handguns at the two residents. One of the women told the 21-year-old, "Give me whatever you have," so the victim gave up her purse, which held $600. The suspect handed the purse to the male suspect, who took the victim's phone out of the bag and threw it to the ground, after the third suspect told him to.
