A woman had just returned home with her three children to see a gold, newer model Jeep Grand Cherokee, with a Georgia tag with first letters PN, parked in her driveway. When the victim pulled up, four African-American males who appeared to be ages 18 to 20 (no other description provided) ran from the back of the left side of her house and got into the vehicle. The vehicle backed up swiftly into the grass and tried to turn around, but the victim's vehicle was blocking it. The driver exited the vehicle and pointed a black/grey gun at the victim and motioned for her to back up. The victim backed out of her driveway and the Jeep sideswiped their vehicle and fled south on Nancy Creek Road. Footprints were found on the wet grass and the patio area.
