Atlanta police spokeswoman Kim Jones said three men were robbed of nearly $40,000 in jewelry and iPhones.

… the two suspects entered and sat down at the counter. A few minutes after that, the suspects got up and went to the booth where the victims were sitting. One sat down while the other stood at the end of the table, Jones said.

She said the suspect sitting down “produced a black semi-automatic handgun,” pressed it into the ribs of one of the victims, and said, “don’t move or say anything. I’ll shoot you right here,” and “give me your watch and gold chain.”

The suspects took a $6,000 gold chain and medallion and a diamond-covered Rolex watch valued at $20,000 from one victim, a Rolex Submariner watch valued at $12,000 and a $500 iPhone from the second victim and an iPhone 5 valued at $500 from the third victim.
