For the second time in just over a week, robbers hit the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta in Woodstock.
Employees at Jared's Jewelry tell Woodstock police, a heavy-set, middle-aged black man entered the store Tuesday morning, brandishing a handgun. He made off with an undisclosed amount of jewelry.
Woodstock police are reviewing the surveillance video as they pursue leads. The Cherokee Tribune reports the suspect was dressed in a plaid shirt, khaki pants and a caddy-style hat. He remains at large.
On April 20, Woodstock police were called after a car crashed into the front of the True Religion Jeans store at the mall at 4:45 a.m.
Police gave chase and the suspects' vehicle wrecked on Highway 92 west of Wade Green Road. 16-year-old Ladarrius McSwain of Atlanta died. A second burglary suspect, 23-year-old Tora Gordon of Atlanta was hospitalized at Wellstar Kennestone. Charges are pending.
Other suspects and up to two other vehicles may be involved in that smash-and-grab burglary.
