Armed robbers burglarized Icebox Diamonds & Watches Jewelry store in the affluent Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta on Saturday.
The burglary was first reported by Channel 2’s Michael Seiden on Sunday.
Detectives told Seiden the brazen thieves followed the jewelry store manager to his Smyrna home, forced him and his wife inside and tied them up.
After the victims were tied up, the robbers stole jewelry and cash from the home. One of the robbers took the keys and passcodes and returned to the jewelry store at 3255 Peachtree Road, where he and a third accomplice disabled the burglar alarms.
The burglars spent two hours cleaning out multiple safes in the store.
The burglars were able to get into the safes by using FaceTime to speak with the manager and get the pass codes, police tell Channel 2 Action News.
The manager and his wife were not harmed.
Icebox sells custom made-to-order diamond chip jewelry using state of the art 3D printer technology. Diamond chip jewelry are highly favored by rappers. The store has a large hip-hop clientele that includes rappers T.I., 21 Savage, Migos, Young Thug, and more.
Atlanta police are investigating the Icebox burglary, and Cobb County police are handling the home invasion robbery.
Anyone with information about the armed robbery is urged to contact police at 770-499-3495 or cobbpolicecrimetips@cobbcounty.org.
Sounds like Oceans 15 the ATL edition…they pulled it off with finesse. I can’t stand a thief but they were very smart to have 2+ hours to pull this off and get away with it.
I need the hookup…
Where is your security at FOOL?
Good for his dumb A$$???
this sounds like an insurance scam or even an episode of empire. I don’t believe this.
took the font right out of my mouth. First think i thought.
These idiots used FaceTime?… They finna get caught ????????????????????
I’m assuming the store is owned by a black man? because the IG is of a black man with jewelry and cash….
Lol, that was funty….
I hate us sometimes….get a damned job!!
OT: The latest on Jussie according to our local news. He staged the hoax because….wait for it….he didn’t get enough attention.
Ol broke ass niccas.

That’s what all that flossing will get you every time, the struggle is real
Sounds like an inside job.
They face timed each other ok so this case will be solved soon I just hope this ain’t a insurance scam for a struggling business
LMAO ? …..sounds about right ?? old NYC hustle ?
now im just guessing but they could have taken the manager & the wife phone to do the FT…I hope they weren’t dumb enough to FT on their own phones
I just wrote this up top because ain’t nobody wearing that big old out of style jewelry but those hood booger rappers and they not paying for it most of them are borrowing the jewelry and refusing to return it.
Truuuuue
I don’t know if this story is true but ninjas are getting bolder and bolder.
I went to the 7-11 yesterday and ran into an acquaintance and we were chatting it up for about 10 minutes. I then withdrew some money from the ATM. When I left the store, I noticed a guy in a car that was there when I first went in the store. I could see out the side of my eye he was watching me and had a good view of the ATM. My instinct said this guy is getting ready to follow me. I said game on. I was planning to go back home but I didn’t dare lead him to where I lived so as I pulled out in a different direction, he pulled out right behind me. I made a left turn and he made a left turn. I changed lanes and he changed lanes. He definitely seemed like he was trying to keep up with me. Then I got back in the left lane. So did he. I kept driving straight but as soon as I saw an opening to do a U-turn, I took it. By that time it was too late for him to get over and do a U. As I was turning I could see his face like “damn”. I think this fool was going to try to rob me. But yeah I always have my radar on. Always looking at my surroundings and watching unusual behavior like his. Y’all be safe and watch your surroundings.
Diamond chips? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ca67397ce0e334c11bb15cdf692dd0b222a7880dfb23b8f239b9faa27baa8c0a.gif
I was just in Atlanta and when I tell you I was on high alert while pumping gas at the pump. I locked the doors on my rental just to pump gas at the pump cause my bag was on the seat. Then as I was pulling off I was startled by a pack of Trannys who said they had a question for me. I swear I left tire marks on the road as I pushed the gas to the max. Chile I ain’t been so nervous in my life.
Pack of trannys…lmao!
Jussie!!?
Why a pack of trannys ?? Girl stop..
Wait. They on Face time, IG live and Snap chat during the burglary..
Who you telling. My friend was getting gas at a gas station out there a few years back and this lady walked up to her and asked her for a dollar to get food. So my friend told her let me run into the store and get change and I’ll be right back. She had her wallet in her hand but she left her purse on the floor in her car but she locked her doors. She said she wasn’t even in that store a whole 2 mins and when she came back out her window was broken and purse was gone. Luckily it was a cheap bag and her wallet wasn’t in it but man it be your own people. SMH!!! Don’t you trust them ATL trannies remember they still men at the end of the day. Been done knocked you over the head and stole your rental. Don’t do it booooo!!!
Lawd!!!! REALLY!!! BAMMA AZZ MUFUGGAS!!!
Okay! I’m glad she is okay.. That is exactly how I was feeling. Some scary stuff..
Yeah, I’ve been in Atlanta for 10 years now and I love the city, but after a while you get a good feel for what gas stations are OK, and which ones to stay away from . There are certain gas stations I simply don’t go to… not during the day, and definitely not at night.
You ever been to Atlanta, GA?
Not trying to be funny but she did a lot going back n the store. She had a good heart. Ppl like that u can’t feel sorry for they karma is having to steal
I would’ve gave her that .73 cents out my bag. But I’m glad she went in the store cause things could’ve got ugly.
See that makes sense if I ever get back out there you gone have to give me the 411 on where my safety lies. LOL
Icebox is run by 2 dudes named Mo and Raffi Jooma. They’re not black. I’m pretty sure they’re Arab-American.
For sure. ?
Please be safe..
Nah that’s a real. It was a lot. I even told her like now look you know better we don’t leave bags in cars. PERIODT!!! Karma is real.. I don’t give none of them money anymore. I cant tell who’s real and who’s faking.
OKKK!!!!!
??? is that you
Anyone even try to follow my azz be prepared for a long azz drive …. always be aware of folks …. keep trusting your intuition ?
How many black folks live in Atlanta tho? 10 trillion? Everybody lives there..
I ain’t got nothing for a mf standing outside a store asking me for something ????? lady did that to me outside a store when I pulled up I knew she was gone ask me for something so I asked her before she could ask me she opened her mouth and I said aye you got a dollar I can have ?? why she pat her pocket then looked at me like bish!!! I was about to ask you the same thing . Most of those ppl are not homeless they hustling.
Yep. Every time it kicks in you have to trust your intuition.
They gone follow me to the police station. ?? siri give me direction to the nearest police station
Yep! Cuz we know damn well those type of black folks ain’t buying form other black folks they love giving millions to Chinese Arab and whites very few support black owned businesses
Lmao ????
This sounds like an insurance scam
It’s so you hate to go in any store nowadays, before Christmas they stole the cash register out of Dollar General and that’s after they robbed it 3467555789 times before that.
I’m glad you’re safe.
They rather take from others THEN go on social media bragging about it.. Ignorant FOOLS
Like…

Wow! So you have to have personal security nowadays if you have a lucrative business.
Ummhmm?
I hollered
Lmao
Btw what u think they was asking
SMH. Buckhead, the area with multi-million dollar properties and affluence, yet you can get robbed or shot on any given day.
DEAD.
Some may disagree but Atlanta started to decline at a faster pace after Katrina. Yes 2005, I know. Couple that with the real estate market bust 2008-2009 when rents were dropped and many owners rented out their homes, section 8, etc.
Disclaimer: Not all.
Unfortunately this everywhere. My sister was car jacked in affluent area in MD at 5am on her way to work.
Good for you. It never hurts to be cautious. I’m so bad, when I drive my SUV, I keep all doors locked. When I turn the key to power it off, all doors unlock. I lock them all and then manually unlock driver side only. I take no chances.
You did the right thing. Drive off.
That’s who’s stores are posted up in every hood in America tho
yep, my sister did that one night when she got off worked and was being followed. She got right off the interstate and turned towards the police station. Very smart.
nah, we’re consumers. we buy schit, that’s it. If it’s diamonds, they’re Arab or something else.
Insurance scam. They’re always lending and or making jewelry for people that can’t pay their bills.
Horrible. I akin that too these ATL folks all on tv always talking about Buckhead like it’s the pinnacle of success when, as you said, you can get robbed or shot in the midst of all the opulence, money, and affluence.
You right!
First 48 has a few episodes in Atlanta about murders committed in music studios and the underground mall…generation X is too scared to fight but always ready to pull triggers over social media beef….smh
Sorry to hear this. I’ve shopped there, and the owners are super nice. It”s strange though because Smyrna is a long way from buckhead…seems too far to ‘follow’ someone home; especially given the distance and congestion through buckhead.
if nxggas loved or coveted god&having self respect as much as they covet gucci, diamonds/ thots.
Chile… People would lay in bed with the Devil HIMSELF every night for $20k a day. Majority of people would sell their souls for money???
Pure jegging wearing bittches???
???
Is his name REALLY pronounced Tussy with a J??
Chip diamonds are worthless, and whom better to sell them to than ignorant rappers. If the carat weight and clarity isn’t up there; then there is no point!
You shouldn’t covet anything, covetness is a sin within iteslf , however …I know the thought you’re trying to convey. I get it!
And many does so on a daily basis !
Exactly!? Their images are captured!! On top of that for two hours, unless one of them stay behind the police should have been called. ?????
It’s sad how it’s not safe at all.
I had to mace some fool on my building following me. My building has a mail room and a koisk that holds our packages. We get an email when we get a package & type in the code to get it out. Well I seen the mofo lurking looking lost & I know he didn’t live there. So he wants to slowly follow me towards my apartment. So I slow down,he slow down… I said ok I waited until I can feel him coming up too close & maced his arse!! He started screaming like a girl and I went to my apt. He ended up running out the building before the cops came but they got him on camera. This was late at night so I guess he thought he had a sucker. He probably pigged back off of some dumb ass who let him in. I’ll be waiting for his ass to come back. This time he’s getting more than mace.???
Exactly these jewellers aint caking like before..ninjas are wearing fake jewellery now and it looks very real
I know this can happen to anyone, but I just want to live comfortable, I dont need all the glitz and glamor of this world chyt to risky and dangerous.
I remember growing up! My mother always, always told me to change my routine , never, ever keep the same routine when leaving a place of business etc because you never know who watching.
I live by this rule & have instilled it in my children too.
Did yall see that large azz 60 carats diamond ring the rapper bought his wife for valentines day. I am sick of folks trying 2 out instagram relationship each other. The ring is a big ole hot azz mess.
Especially since he won’t pay more cs for his only kid. Who is special needs. Huge Gucci fan but Guwop is trash
People like me who r born here dont even go that way. We shake our head n laugh at the out of towners who have a fit about buckhead. We look at them like child please??.
Thanks for thé name. Yep it was gucci. Lil hot said the jeweler laughed all the way 2 the bank.
I would like it but in a very quiet way. Mars candy bar company, You dont know who the owners are it is a private company. How old is mars candy bar? Exactly and I have yet to see the offspring blinging…big money quiet lifestyle of nice homes vacation travel and quiet quiet quiet with a circle of friends that are the same! Thats what I want!
I live in Smyrna. It’s not far from Buckhead. Not too far for somebody who wanted to carry this out anyways lol
yep if you rolling with the rappers you get rapped up in their crazy clueless world. I hope the rappers have trust funds for their babies
True
He will pay later! Every dog has his day trust me! I’m Seeing some dogs having it now ?
He should have had more security. U need that in Buckhead now. When I was Growing up Buckhead was a no no, now bc of reality shows that film there more ppl have learned about it thus more robberies. Buckhead also kinda lost it touch a Lil bit bc it went from u gotta be a millionaire to live there to anyone can now if u at least make 50000
I’m the same way. All four doors and the trunk don’t need to be unlocked when I put it in park.
And they refuse to give them security. So I go to the other one.
Sandra Rose…I know you are infamous for your “Medical Minute”…but may I request you parlay that into an informative article about what diamond chip jewelry/production/market consumption really means!!??
I tell Choke 23 this all the time when she walks the dog.
LOL. I hear ya’.
Very smart indeed! I’ll have to remember that if I’m every confronted with Joe the no good robber.
Thank you!!! Much appreciated!!
You’re welcome
Diamond chip?pave cut?
Share a link…I’m not finding anything on google
They are cheating the hell out of them guys
Ahhhhhh…They tricked me with that new name…
That’s what I’m saying. ?? RLBOG
Feel like there should be a side of Subway sandwich…if bleach was involved….
Thank you! Normal folks are losing their minds and lives to compete with an illusion!
Everybody has writing on their face now. At 45 years old, when their rap careers are over, they will be trying to come up with money to have them removed so that they can get a job. People don’t think past today.
Absolutely ?
That was a good lick
Yep good idea because diamond ”chip’ sounds like leftover cuttings from a ‘real’ diamond i wonder if its synthetic
What a mockery and distortion of wealth.
?????
One of those rap guys was talking about he has real wealth because he can purchase LV ear pods
They will be climbing in hard working folks windows,and robbing folks
So instead of calling the police you facetime the thieves?
Lol read again. They were tied up
Big facts
Atlanta has been majority black since the late 60s. What the hell does that have to do with it still being majority black today? Yes. 10 trillion.
We don’t believe you! (j/k… :kona:)
Yep like the deodorant ??
Karl Langerfeld done managed to die.
Diamond chip jewelry are highly favored by rappers.
^^^^^This, the shade. My day is complete.
Nooo…. Was he that old?
and down there by Georgia Tech … shid ….. rough https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/51c6b3f7a6512ebaa1918af76267cbf3565dd650397e2957034187e652b8b8a3.gif
85
This story has all the veracity of a Jussie Smollett tall tale.
well damn……low key tho I thought he died 5 years ago…..
could this have been an insurance thing….or inside thing? Sorry, this Jussie thing has me second guessing ere thang now!! j/s
Well the twist of not thinking past the moment is realizing u may not get another…sometimes its best to relax in the moment instead of trying to think about tomorrow..nothing is promised. U know the sayin…live for today! Such rappers and ppl thay do that sht believe its an art that represents them and then u have idiots that just like to draw on themselves for no apparent reason other then attention…
These Arabs must thank Allah every day for creating the city of Atlanta. Without these ignorant negros walking around in public with fists full of CASH, the Jooma family wouldn’t be able to peddle their diamond “CHIPS” at such exorbitant prices. It’s one long, unending minstrel show.
What?
L0l! That was another rich wyte guy…
I used to love that cologne.
In other news…
What happened to Ryan Singleton?

It really does sound suspicious tho I mean you didn’t know you were being followed? You don’t have cameras or alarms in your house? Damn all that money you take from negras and you don’t live in gated community? ijs
He was 85. He been looking 95 though for quite awhile.
Exactly. It has nothing to do with anything; just like your comment which brung it up. Have a great day!
Thank you. We just put so much money in the pockets of Arab and Jewish jewelers. I dont think I’ve ever seen a jewelry store owned by black folk.
You Joking right?
“There was never a sign at all of any kind of child molestation. The Deon I knew at that time, he was stealing cars and stuff like that. He never, ever gave anyone an impression that he would touch any child. He was the perfect man,” Sophie’s grandmother replied.
That’s what Sophie’s mother also thought as Thrash charmed his way into her life. She even let him move in with her and the kids in Troup County”
WTF??? This chick said she thought Deon was the perfect man EVEN THOUGH he stole cars and STUFF like that???
Folks have LOW standards ???
And they don’t even know what they’re paying for (no pre-purchase appraisal). So long as it’s “sparkly,” they just hand over their money to these Jews and Arabs, no questions asked.
Good Morning Roses!
Hope everyone had a nice, 3 day weekend.
Oh no ?
Aw nawl

anybody check on the cat, Choupette?
85 is more than what is promised us. and he lived a (from the outside-looking-in) full life. bless.
when i think of Karl i think of that ponytail, the white hair, those glasses, and Chanel. and i don’t even do high fashion (because poor), but he was definitely iconic and influential in the fashion world.
Good morning
On my way to an interview, not sure why I don’t think I want to stay in NY anymore?????
The poverty level is getting out of control. I seen a long line in this cold for the pantry to open. I realized that some people just wanna stay in poverty and make excuses. ? Most of those people in line looked under 60. It appears to be the same mofos since I moved to these apartments 2 years ago.
Bernie Sanders says he’s running again in 2020. He called Trump a liar, racist and sexist among other things. ????? I don’t see any lies here. ????? 2020 should be a interesting ticket. As long as no Latinx tries to run we good!!
THIS!!!! He was ah LEGENNNNNNNNND (in my Joanne The Scammer voice).
I was like Kah-l done went to see German Jesus?
He had a LOOK you hear me!
His longtime man from the early 1970s… died from AIDS…in 1989! Kah-l was blessed and highly favored out in those gay fashion streets.
I asked how many black folks lived in Atlanta and u took offense? ???? gtfoh
Baby Kah-l did NOT come to play! I was heartbroken few months back tho he showed up to something and was missing teeth and looking unkept! I was like WHO is that? Karl I AM familar with would NEVER. But it was HIM. *sads*
my thoughts exactly!!!! Wonder what the insurance payout is for a loss such as this….cause I work in business insurance….so we will see…..
yes….my dude has been looking all disheveled and such!!! Who is/was his handler?????
Well alrighty then, no new posts yet.
?
Just googled and read some of his quotes…ice cold!
I never fall in love.
Hay there…I had a 5 day weekend https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fe1e1cbc58af5caf4eaabce1160a120abbb048eab51f5175eb3f9c9d5c5ddd93.gif
Good Tuesday garden
bless you for this Gif….morning Coy!!!! Heeyyyy boooo!!!
Dang I missed this..
I was thinking the same thing. Why would I leave the safe open
Where are you, Sandy? Probably laid up under the covers with some young lslh strumpet you met over the weekend.?
Luv you, Ms. Rose. ? With bated breath we await a new post .
Morning to all in the garden
I see a lot more women are scribbling on their face ?
gucci and his wife alone…ridiculous…
Hay booski ?
U said “because poor” – I hollered cuz I’m poor too, LOL
I’m sure the cat will go to family….he’s a famous cat now, you know.
Perhaps they left a robber at the home to watch the couple and to make sure they would facetime his buddies in the store.
What are diamond CHIPS?
And you NEVER will…..
Yep…I bought my wedding ring from an Arab jeweler. I always wonder if it’s real. I’m afraid to get it appraised, LOL
Hey there
I definitely couldn’t do it in 2019
2005-2010 was enough and I call it my blackout years bc going and visiting is exhausting
It’s a true rat race. Non stop, working to just exist.
Don’t be afraid to relocate
They are the epitome of what white peoples call Ni@@er acting like they have accomplished everything in the world because they got cheap jewelry on
I don’t care ? its not a black ownd business. I’m sure some Arab or Asian owns it
don’t make me did out my ‘holiday heart’ vhs! lawd… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bb4264f7d4d7227830d50436ebc02fe52f854ab6633bc6dbb91c04c30c8efcd0.gif
Gucci claim his ring is 60 carats?
Anybody with an IQ higher than 10 would know a ring like that would cost 10-15 million dollars?
He got that type of money now?
People with real money don’t publicize their wealth.
Just embarrassing.
But he got a whole bunch of wide eyed black folks totally fooled if all the stuff he have had any bit of quality it would be well in the 100 million dollar mark.. if you notice they only buy from Indians and Arabs but never Jewish jewelers or even African ones
Thank you. Say it louder for folks in the back. But, what can we expect from their fans. Another thing who wears all that expensive jewels to a basketball game?
People who got it like that just sit back and laugh. Keyshia’s was showing off her diamond to Shaquille O Neal. I have 2nd hand embarrassment for them.
I was hoping they fade into irrelevancy but they keep pulling stunts like this.
Good.
???Truth
Charging all that money for some great fakes. But as the name of the store is Ice Box they should known it’s a cold cold world
DID THEY PUT HIM IN THE “ICEBOX”???
You’ve nailed it!
All these thugs don’t make ATL a very attractive place for tourist! If it wasn’t for the Super Bowl I doubt thousands would flock there!
All these thugs don’t make ATL a very attractive place for tourist! If it wasn’t for the Super Bowl I doubt thousands would flock there!
waking up filthy, smelling like demon breath .. i couldn’t
&is it me or are the types of people down w/that usually addicts/unblessed? ..
I noticed that! I never seen them with Jewish or African jewelry owners.
Just pure dumb. They’ll all be broke by Time their 45 yrs
You will not see them with Jews because Jews sell real high quality diamonds and not going to work deals with them like the Indians will
Jews don’t want to be associated with them like that. Cheapens their brand.
That’s just what I was thinking for years the only one they had was the one Jacob the jeweler and he even said told those BMF guy they could not come in his shop anymore because they where scarying away money
Lol!
Dumb, dumb. Shows their lackof self worth and business acumen.
Instead of property, stocks and companies, they rather be show offs.
Are these rappers actually bringing in that type of money?
You know I was looking at a forum relating to entertainment management and the whites where discussing how blacks prefer the limelight even when it’s less money involved
I believe it. That’s why you see them on shows like Unsung and then Their broke. There is nothing wrong with nice jewelry etc but they need to think long term.
Recently the rapper Dolph ‘claimed’ he was robbed by f $500,000 worth of jewelry from his car?
Who rolls around with jewelry like that in their car?
Yes that happened near me all his cars have the same paint scheme and his name painted on them lol
Please tell me your jokicing?
Basically, your begging to be robbed
I guarantee you his children do not have college savings or savings. But, Daddy rolling around with guady cars and jewelry. Our people.
Not at all some very high end cars all with with a camouflage paint scheme..I have saw him come into Phipps plaza looking like a pure fools about 20 gold chained on Gucci slippers with all that fur around them lol thinking he the “Biggest nigga” to grace us with his presence
Lol don’t know whether I should laugh or cry!
What a fool. Just begging to be robbed. He’s a walking, breathing stereotype. SMH!
Totally and all the young guys and older think that’s the black man program super thug pimpish drug dealer or a flaming homosexual that are the lanes the white supremacist have created for black men… and the amout you young teenage homosexual guys I saw this weekend I’m am truly convinced they have put something in the water and it is a chemical that can do that..
Wow!
I noticed same thing at malls and schools. Feminization of Black Males is real.
My nephew went to a majority white school I asked him was some gays up there he said two black boys with red hair be kissing in the hallways …
I wonder how these black women feel after they choose child support over the child father in the house and the son end up being a homosexual
