Atlanta police say they have arrested a woman in connection with the Buckhead baby stroller robberies. Investigators arrested the first suspect, Brandon Lawson in Macon on Thursday night, and he'll be returned to Atlanta.
    
Police say 18-year-old Joi Monai Jenkins is the woman seen with Lawson during the robberies. They say she will be charged with armed robbery.
    
The pair robbed a man at gunpoint outside a Buckhead Publix last weekend while using a baby as distraction, according to police. They say the couple kept the gun in the stroller.

Police say that Lawson is not the father of the child in the stroller.

Lawson is also suspected of robbing two other men on Sunday at a Buckhead condo complex.
