Report is somewhat useless with no description of perpetrators. Men? That narrows it down to about 3.5 billion suspects. Age, height, weight, race, hair color, clothing, car, tag....???

Michele, GA Tech Police have stepped up patrols however the robberies are occurring in the Home Park neighborhood next to Tech. That's the APDs responsibility. Not sure Tech Police patrol there.
I lived in Home Park in the 90s while going to Tech and there were never this many problems with robberies as there has been in the last couple of years. Very sad.
