A black man, around 6 feet tall and weighing approximately 200 pounds and armed with a revolver, walked into the store and demanded money. After he was given an undisclosed amount of cash, he fled toward Fontaine Road. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans with his face covered with a knitted cap with eyeholes cut out.
The second robbery was reported at 11:45 p.m. Wednesday at the Waffle House at 7350 Six Flags Drive in Austell. Police said two black men, one carrying a rifle, came in through a back door.
They received an undisclosed amount of money and left in an unknown direction.
The first suspect is described as 5 feet, 11 inches tall, thin with light skin. He was last seen wearing black pants and a black hooded sweatshirt.
The other suspect is also listed at 5 feet, 11 inches tall and thin, and police said he was between 20 and 25 years old with dark skin. He was last seen clean shaven, wearing black pants and a black hoodie.

I have heard NO news of jobs coming to south Cobb.
I have seen no evidence of anyone even trying to compete w/ Gwinnett. They are definitely doing whatever is necessary to bring quality manufacturing & high tech jobs throughout Gwinnett. Groundbreakings a regular event.
Crime coincides w/ economic downturn, as more people become desperate.
This is what we are expeiencing and it can be blamed on unqualified elected officials running Cobb.
Thanks for nothing, Tim & Max!!
