    Surveillance footage released by the Atlanta Police Department captured the moment the suspect grabbed the victim’s wallet and ran, seemingly unfazed by passing cars. Investigators say the elderly man had been sweeping leaves when he was suddenly attacked. After checking the wallet’s contents, the suspect fled the scene.

    Authorities have not yet identified the man responsible and are asking for the public’s help. Anyone with information is urged to call the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at (404) 577-8477. A reward of up to $2,000 is offered for details leading to an arrest and indictment. The suspect remains on the run.
