Atlanta Police now know more about one of the suspects wanted in last week's robbery at a SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) dorm last week.

Lt. Jeff Cantin tells Channel 2 Action News one of the suspects has a Pacman tattoo on his neck and an Atlanta Falcons logo tattooed between his eyes. 

"Those two suspects were in the building prior to the incident," says Cantin. "We believe they were probably either trying to pass themselves off as students, confronted our two victims which are current students, and then just asked for assistance in getting a shirt and stuff.  Then, they were able to get back up to their room."

Cantin says once they got into the students' room, they tied them up and took everything they could carry.

"They were scared," says Cantin. "This is probably gonna be their first crime that they experienced.  They're not from this area so this is something new for them.  We are working with them.  We have victim witness assistance that have been in contact with them."

SCAD has also increased security following the incident.  Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers at 404-577-8477.
