Three armed men ambushed a resident as he entered his high-end Buckhead apartment building and robbed him, police said.
Surveillance video shows the men ordering the victim to the ground about 4:20 a.m. Saturday, Atlanta police spokesman Jarius Daugherty said.
The incident happened at the Skyhouse Buckhead in the 3300 block of Stratford Road, where some one bedroom apartments rent for as much as $2,500 a month, according to the building’s website.
“The suspects took multiple items from the victim,” Daugherty said, “threatening to shoot the victim if he did not comply quickly enough.”
After taking “all items of value” from the man, the robbers told the man to run back to the parking area.
The victim told officers the men drove from the scene. He said the men were wearing all black hoodies and jeans.
No arrests have been made. The investigation continues.
