Two Robberies Reported in Decatur

 This information comes from Decatur police reports.

Money stolen in vacant house. A woman said a man she knows only as "Dwayne" took $10 after they went to a vacant house to drink beer.

The woman said came to Decatur about 4 p.m. May 9 and met Dwayne in a park near the Marta station. They bought beer and went to a house under construction on East Ponce de Leon Avenue. Once inside Dwayne demanded oral sex but the woman refused.

Dwayne struck the woman in the head and upper chest. He tried to take her cell phone but she put it down her pants. He took $10 cash and some Japanese currency from her purse and pushed her down some stairs.

The woman took Marta to Northside Hospital, where Sandy Springs police contacted Decatur police about 11:30 p.m. She said she dropped her apartment complex key card in the house and Decatur police found it at 538 E. Ponce de Leon Ave.

The woman described Dwayne as a black male of average size with light skin. He has gold bottom teeth, a shaved head and was wearing a pink polo shirt, white pants and white shoes. He has a tattoo of a pistol on his chest and an AK-47 rifle on his right upper arm.

Phone theft off Decatur Square. A Renfroe Middle School student said a young male grabbed her iPhone and ran away.

An officer patrolling Decatur Square was notified about 4 p.m. May 6 that a robbery had occurred at East Trinity and North McDonough streets. He talked to the victim, who said she and friends left the school and walked up North McDonough to Starbucks.

A group of seven young men yelled at them across the street and then crossed over and continued to harass them. One of the young men "violently snatched" her iPhone and ran toward the Marta tunnel at the Swanton Way turnaround. The rest of his group scattered.

The suspect was described as a black male 12-16 years old with a slim build and a small Afro hair style. He was wearing khaki pants and a forest green polo shirt.
