Marietta Police have released new photos and video of the male suspects, dressed like women, with wigs and purses, and the get-a-way car they used during an armed robbery at the Cobb Pawn Shop.

On September 18, 2012, Police say two black males entered the store located at 1690 Cobb Parkway South.  One dressed as a woman with a yellow purse and wig, the other wore a dark Adidas windbreaker with three stripes running down each sleeve.  The second suspect was also carrying a red purse and wore a dark Braves hat with a tomahawk on the front.

During the robbery, one suspect pulled a black revolver out of his purse and pointed it at the victim. The victim was bound with duct tape and then placed in a back room while the suspects robbed the store.

An undisclosed amount of money and jewelry were stolen from the store.

After viewing video footage from the robbery, the Marietta Police Department Detective Division has learned that the suspects arrived and left in a grey or black Suzuki Grand Vitara, probably a 2009-2013 model.  After the robbery, the suspects fled south on Cobb Parkway.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Marietta Police at 770-794-6990.
