Atlanta police have issued a safety warning amid a string of robbery incidents in Buckhead between 2021 and February in which men have reported being drugged and robbed.
Young men in Atlanta have reported being drugged and robbed while out in Atlanta's affluent Buckhead neighborhood between 2021 and February of this year, according to police records and national reports. Now, police are warning people who spend time out in Atlanta to take precautions, such as staying together with friends, paying 'close attention' to drinks, reporting any tampering to drinks, being aware of one's surroundings, protecting banking apps with passwords and so on.
That same day, on Feb. 5, police spoke with another robbery victim who similarly said that while he was at the '5 Paces Inn Bar he was possibly drugged and robbed,' according to another police report. 'The victim stated he was with friends at the above location and was unsure how he got separated. The victim stated he did not have a lot to drink,' the police report says. 'The victim stated he thinks he was possibly struck with a firearm and was knocked unconscious.
In the more than 20 police reports filed between 2021 and March obtained by Fox News Digital, there are a string of other robbery incidents that do not involve drugging but do involve victims being distracted when getting into rideshare vehicles and then being robbed and dumped at random locations by drivers posing as Uber or Lyft. Many of the robbery incidents happened at or outside the same bars, including 5 Paces Inn, Johnny's Hideaway, Thirty and The Ivy Buckhead.
