Police: Woman Followed Home, Robbed

Woman Attacked At Home On Limehurst Drive

An Atlanta woman was attacked at her home on Thursday after someone followed her from a nightclub, police said.

The attack happened around 3:30 a.m. at her townhome on Limehurst Drive, after the woman arrived home from Club Luckie near downtown Atlanta.

According to investigators, two or three men rushed the woman as she was pulling her car into the garage and forced her inside the home.

The men threatened to kill the woman, police said, then stole her money and cell phone.

Investigators said the woman believes she was drugged while at the nightclub.

Her neighbor, James Tubo, said he can't imagine anyone lurking in the gated community.

"She probably was followed home. We don't see anybody. Again, we have fences all around and gated, so it's really, really baffling," Tubo said.

The woman’s name was not released.

Police have made no arrests.

Community resident Seth Watson said the incident has made him concerned about some single female friends who live across the street from the victim.

"They generally should not be going out by themselves. If you're young, female, by yourself, you need to have some sort of cell phone, mace, something of that nature, really," Watson said.
