Chanura said the robber put a gun in his face as he was getting out of his SUV. He said he thought someone was following him home when he left work. Chanura said he thought he shook a tail by zigging and zagging through various roads on the way home. Despite those efforts he was ambushed and robbed in his driveway.

Gwinnett County Police released a Georgia Bureau of Investigation composite sketch of a man described as a light skinned black male with very nice teeth. Corporal Deon Washington said police suspect he could be part of a robbing crew targeting store owners like Chanura.

He said the crime speaks of a level of experience well beyond novice.

Chanura said after he was robbed the toothy gunman fled in a sedan followed by another car. He said he is troubled because they entered his gated community. Chanura said he has hired a security firm to take his cash to the bank from his business.

Gwinnett County Police are urging business owners to take security measures as well.
