Three gunmen held up Starship Enterprises Adult Video at 4872 Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain early Wednesday morning. They took $230 in cash and escaped on foot after restraining two employees with leg irons and fur handcuffs sold in the sex paraphernalia store.
According to a police incident report, three masked men, wearing white T-shirts and jeans, entered the store after midnight. The gunmen began "yelling verbal commands" at Adell Sharp, 20, who was working the front register, and Lydon Blackman, 41, who was in the back of the store sweeping up.
One robber ordered Sharp to get on the floor while he emptied the cash register.
A second robber ordered Sharp and Blackman into the back room where he handcuffed Blackman with a "pair of silver leg irons from the store" to a sink. The gunman bound Sharp with a pair of black fur handcuffs, according to the report.
No one was injured in the robbery, which was captured on a video, according to the police report. The gunmen, who ran away, also stole several portable scales from the store, valued at about $700.
