ATLANTA - In the early hours of April 28, Atlanta police responded to an incident involving a strong arm robbery at 3660 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta. The event took place around 2:30 a.m. after the victim, who had just left Johnny’s Hideaway, was offered a ride home by a female suspect.

The victim, who was reportedly intoxicated at the time, accepted the ride, unaware of the impending danger.

The man told police that he noticed another man in the backseat of the woman's car but did not initially react with alarm.
