Woman Carjacked by 2 Suspects in Front of Northside Drive Home - Buckhead Patch

A man and woman carjacked a woman on Wednesday afternoon in front of her Northside Drive home as she pulled into her driveway. According to Atlanta Police, the woman pulled into her driveway to find a silver SUV backed into the driveway with a woman sitting in the driver's seat.

The victim parked and went to ask the female suspect what she was doing. The female suspect responded that she was leaving and asked the victim to move her vehicle. At that time, a male suspect walked out from behind the house and told the victim that he was looking at the house because it was for sale.

The victim said the house was not for sale and took out her cell phone to call 911. That's when the male victim pulled out his gun. The victim dropped her phone and ran to a nearby home to call 911. See Buckhead Patch for more on this story.
