Music and Arts robbery suspect sketch

Peachtree City police have released this sketch of the person who robbed the Music and Arts store at The Avenue in Peachtree City Sunday morning.

The suspect had a tattoo on his neck that says "Thug" in cursive or script writing, said Capt. Rosanna Dove of the Peachtree City Police Department.

The suspect also had a tattoo that began near his wrist, but the victim only saw a small part of it, Dove said.

Police are working with area jails to determine if they have any information that might lead to the suspect’s identification, Dove said.

The suspect was described as a black male in his late 20s to early 30s with a medium build, short shaved hair, and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark jeans.

The employee told police he exited the back door of the establishment when he was first approached by the gunman, who got away with an undisclosed amount of money.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call 911, the city's non-emergency dispatch number at 770-461-4357 or the police department's main line at 770-487-8866.

Stuck a gun (and I assume it was loaded!) into the face of a child and robbed him! I don't care what color he is, I'm glad I've seen a sketch/picture so if I ever see this animal again, I can help put him/it where he belongs.

Hear me now! I DO NOT GIVE A RATS BEHIND IF THIS GUY IS WHITE OR BLACK! (All of you that want to say that I am racist, keep your comments to my entry to yourselves, I am pissed enough)

Like I stated on Sunday, my daughter works in that outdoor mall. PTC used to be the place to live and a great place to work. I am really worried about the teens and adults that work in these high priced establishments. My daughter did not even know that the robbery occured and she was at work when it happened! She found out about it from me after it was posted on The Citizen and I happened to see it! Mall security nor PTC police informed the company my daughter works for that the travisty occured! She found out from me AFTER she got off work @ 6:00 PM!

I am sorry, but, the children and adults that work in these retail jobs are trying to make a fair living to support themselves. Why should thier efforts to bring home a pay check be complicated by fear for thier lives when they enter their employer's door? Where was mall security when this happened, and even more so, where was mall security after the fact?? This man is still on the loose???? Why were the other businesses in The Avenue notified?

(770) 486-6587‎. There you go, the phone number to the Avenues office. Oddly, it popped up instantly when I asked my friend google for it instead of just complaining on the Citizen's website. I appreciate your concern for your daughter, but this just comes off as a bit whiny - much like people already assume the entire population of PTC to be. Just call the security office and give them your complaint. I'm not quite sure they would be particularly concerned after the incident that a robber was going to hit another store with like 10 police cars there. As for during the robbery, what exactly would you expect the security guard to do? Beat the gunman with his flashlight? I guess they should have an armed guard at each door of each establishment at the Avenues - where these brave young workers come to work and risk their lives each day on the rough streets of Peachtree City.

PTC isn't perfect, but if you'll check out a few facts, not many places have better "crime rates" than PTC or Fayette County.

You can bet this clown will be caught.

He was stupid enough to write "thug" on his neck. That does narrow down the field some.

...to a safer location and take your daughter with you. Crime has arrived to our County from Clayton, DeKalb and Fulton and I'm afraid it's here to stay. In the meantime, your daughter would do good to take a self defense course and buy a weapon, though I'm not sure if she'd be allowed to take it to work.

Another suggestion is that your daughter gets a job at the PTCPD or with the Sheriff Dept, that way you and her might be able to feel safer.

Good luck!

How dare you put up a sketch of the armed robber! Everyone knows that this is racist and only promotes the stereotype that young black males are more prone to crime than their non-black peers. You should take this down before teacher foryou and the NAACP come knocking on your door.

If you put up a sketch of a black criminal, you must put up a photo of a white criminal. Anything less than that is racist and you should be ashamed.

So, you got any white criminals this week? If not you must take down the sketch of the black guy until you get a white one as well.

There are enough criminals at Lehman Brothers to use for duplicate pictures (almost all white) and not have to remove the black one!

If we were interested, we might even find a few at local banks!

......and here's some additional help:

Most robberies are executed by "black males"
Most sexual predators of minors are "white males"
Most drivers DUIs are "hispanic males"
Most rapists are "black males"
Most white collar criminals are "white males" (as are stupid, economy-wrecking Presidents)
Most illegal aliens are "hispanic males"

And so on and so forth....

I thank God I'm a person most difficult to profile!!!

Is this a "Black Bulldog" or a "White Bulldog"? And is 'it' the possession of a White Trash PTC resident. I'm soooo confused. Puzzled

Maybe we'll get lucky and he'll pull a gun on our law dawgs and this piece of human debris will get a taste of his own medicine. Evil

Back to work.....someone's got bail Wall Street and it's Democrat donors out. Smiling Viva La Marxism!
