Man Robbed After Accepting Car Ride

A man was allegedly robbed at gunpoint on Brook Hollow Parkway after accepting a ride from three men last week.

According to the Norcross Police report, the 26-year-old man had been near the Motel 6 in unincorporated Norcross around 9:45 p.m. on March 13.

He was approached by three males in a burgundy Mercury Grand Marquis. They asked him if he needed a ride, and he said yes.

He told police that they made him sit in the front seat of the car because they didn't trust him. The men were worried he'd rob them, the report says.

The four drove to Brook Hollow Parkway. When they approached the on the 5100 block, the subject sitting directly behind the passenger pulled out a gun and demanded the victim's wallet. 

The victim gave up his wallet. He told police that while it was happening, the other man sitting in the backseat tried to negotiate with the gunman, saying that he didn't have to do this and to leave the victim alone.

The gunman then told the victim to get out of the car. He threatened that if the victim ever told police about the armed robbery, they would kill him because they know where he lives, given the address in his wallet.

He told police that address was outdated. In addition to his identification card, his wallet contained his social security card, his birth certificate, a prepaid Visa Debit card and $480 in cash, says the report.

The report does not list any suspects, but the victim described them as being two black males and one light-skinned black male. The car, a burgundy Mercury Grand Marquis, had market rims and a Georgia Bulldogs license plate in front. The gun the armed robber used was similar to a .22 caliber handgun.
