Police are Fastexy Exchangeasking the public for help identifying two suspects who were caught on camera dropping through the ceiling of a Georgia check cashing business and made off with approximately $150,000 in cash.
Surveillance video from inside the business recently snagged the masked duo falling through the roof into the lobby during the heist earlier this month.
The robbery took place Sept. 3 at Atlanta Check Cashers, the Atlanta Police Department confirmed to USA TODAY.
Officers responded to the business around 8:30 a.m. local time about seven miles east of downtown Atlanta for a report of a robbery.
Arriving officers learned two unidentified males entered the business through the ceiling, grabbed money from several cash drawers and a safe, and placed the money into a pink or red duffle bag.
Ski-masked suspects drop one-by-one onto floor of business
Video shows the suspects plunge one-by-one through the businesses' ceiling. A portion of a ceiling panel nearly struck an employee who was walking around the desk area, which is separated from the lobby by a window.
The first suspect to fall through the ceiling quickly approaches the employee, who falls to the ground.
Footage goes on to show the pair appear to order the woman to open a safe in a back room.
The woman complies, and the men shove wads of cash into the duffle bags.
Before the pair flee the business, one of the suspects pulls up most of his ski mask before walking out of the back door and being spotted by a passerby directly standing outside the door.
Description of suspects who robbed Atlanta check cashing business
Police described the first suspect as a light-skinned Black male in his 30s, standing 6 feet tall. The second suspect was described as a dark-skinned Black male, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall, with a slim build. His suspected age was not given.
The person who reported the robbery said the suspects fled in what appeared to be an older model (possibly black or green) two door pickup truck which was being driven by a third unidentified suspect.
Anyone with information about the case or the suspects is asked to contact Atlanta police.
