Police Seeking Assistance in Armed Robbery

Incident: Armed Robbery
Date: 12/15/2011
Location: 1000 Ashwood Parkway Dunwoody, GA
 
On 12/13/11 Dunwoody Police arrested Phillip Redmond III, 21 yo of Douglasville, GA, after committing an armed robbery. Dunwoody Police Officers were dispatched to 1000 Ashwood Parkway, Walton Apartments, at 3:45 AM regarding an armed robbery that had just occurred. While officers were in route to the scene they observed a vehicle matching the description provided by the victim traveling south on Ashford Dunwoody Rd. Dunwoody officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a 1997 tan Cadillac Deville bearing GA tag WI3T00. The vehicle initially stopped on the I285 west bound entrance ramp; however, before officers could approach the vehicle, the driver sped off onto I285. Officers pursued the vehicle along 285W as it exited Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.
Officers continued to pursue the vehicle through the City of Atlanta and it eventually turned into an apartment complex located at 4505 Fairburn Rd. The vehicle traveled to the rear of the complex, coming to a stop as it struck a telephone pole. Both the driver and the passenger fled the vehicle on foot and disappeared into the wood line; however, it is believed the suspects fled the area in a silver truck that left the area at a high rate of speed. Officers located items belonging to the victim in addition to a handgun and clothing items in which the victim indicated the suspects were wearing during the robbery inside of the Cadillac Deville.
 
During the course of the investigation it was determined that the victim had been followed to her apartment on a prior occasion by the tan Cadillac Deville after leaving work; however, the victim did not report this initial incident to police. On December 13th, as the victim arrived at her apartment complex, she was approached by two black males wearing all black clothing and had their faces covered by red bandanas. The males approached on both sides of her vehicle and both were armed with handguns. The suspects demanded the victim's purse and took every bag in her car. The suspects also demanded the victim open her trunk. The suspects fled on foot towards Crown Point Pkwy.
 
The first suspect was described as a black male, approximately 20-25 years of age, wearing a black hoodie, black jeans, wearing a red bandana that covered his face armed with a black handgun. The second suspect is described as a black male wearing all black clothing, wearing a red bandana that covered his face and was also armed with a handgun. Further investigation has revealed that Phillip King Redmond III was the driver of the Cadillac Deville. Redmond is currently at DeKalb County Jail. Redmond's accomplice has not yet been identified.
