Another Robbery Near Georgia Tech

Early Wednesday morning another person was robbed at gunpoint near the Georgia Tech campus -- the ninth such attack in recent months.

This time the thieves hit on-line University of Phoenix student Eric Mills as he was walking home at the corner of Centennial Olympic Park Drive and Hunnicut – three blocks south of Georgia Tech.

Mills said he was walking to his apartment in the Centennial Place complex about 1 a.m. Wednesday when he was attacked by two men wearing masks, and one was armed.

Mills said the robbers demanded his cell phone.

He dropped his book bag which contained his laptop and tried to get away.

Mills hailed down passing cars. That's when the robbers got in their own vehicle and took off with the book bag.

He's out the laptop, school work and an ipod.

The overnight robbery comes one day after police announced an arrest in the shooting of georgia Tech student Patrick Whaley.

The 22-year-old Whaley was attacked last month in a parking garage on Northside Drive.

Deanglo Love -- 17-years-old -- and 19-year-old Maurice Brown and an unnamed person are accused of the crime.

Picked up on June 10 -- Love and Brown face kidnapping, armed robbery, aggravated assault and battery, and weapons charges.

Love is due in court Wednesday.

Police in zone five said there are a number of robbing crews targeting people near the tech campus.

Both campus and Atlanta police have stepped up patrols in the area -- vowing to put an end to the robberies.

But for Mills -- whose hand was slice up during the attack -- the damage is already done.

"I can't walk this street anymore," said Eric Mills.
