A suspect in the Buckhead baby stroller robberies has been arrested, according to Atlanta Police.

Brandon Lawson was identified as a suspect after APD released images of a man and woman with a stroller who were wanted in two armed robberies in Buckhead over the Labor Day weekend.

Lawson was found and arrested in Macon based on tips from the public. Atlanta police say they expect him to be returned to Atlanta to face charges in the two robberies. In one instance, a victim told police he heard a crying baby in the carriage that the suspects had with them.
