Decatur Police are investigating two robberies and an attempted robbery that occurred this week.

Police are unsure if the incidents are connected but haven’t ruled it out, Lt. Jennifer Ross said.

The first robbery occurred around 11:15 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3.

“Decatur police were in the area of the Decatur MARTA bus loop turnaround and were alerted to a robbery that had just occurred in the 100 block of Sycamore Street,” the report says. “The victim reported she and a friend were seated at an outdoor dining table across from a couple. The couple stood up and one of them grabbed the victim’s purse from under her chair and the couple ran from the area. The victim and her friend ran after the suspects but lost sight of them. Officers canvassed the area and located the purse and its contents on the sidewalk. The victim was not injured.”

Police provided the following descriptions of the suspects:

– #1: Black male, mid-20’s, approximately 5’10” and 200 lbs, no facial hair, short twists hairstyle, wearing a dark blue hoodie drawn over his head and a gray sleeved denim jacket over the hoodie. – #2: Black female with a slender build.

The next day, Nov. 4, at 7:36 p.m. police responded to the 300 block of East Howard Avenue on a call about an attempted robbery.
