Sketches released of suspects accused of robbing Carrollton city contractor at gunpoint

CARROLLTON, Ga. — Police in Carrollton are investigating an armed robbery, and they’re hoping sketches of the suspects will lead to arrests.

Carrollton police said a city contractor was repairing signs along the Greenbelt section off Cedar Road on Tuesday when the robbery happened around 1:30 p.m.

The victim called 911 to report the young teens took off with his side-by-side utility vehicle and his wallet. Both items were ditched less than 500 feet away with the wallet missing its cash.

Investigators said during the encounter, the victim was punched in the eye. Hitchcock said the victim is doing OK.

On Wednesday, Georgia Bureau of Investigation forensic artist Kelly Lawson drew sketches of the suspects based on the victim’s description.

The suspects are between 12 and 14 years old.

Tipsters can remain anonymous. The investigation is ongoing.
