Two men in Forsyth County are facing charges for attacking a woman and stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise and cash from her.
Last month, deputies responded to a home on Elgin Way where a 56-year-old woman was robbed while coming home from working at her family restaurant.
She told deputies that she was getting her bags out of her car when two masked men ran up her driveway and pushed her down.

Before she could get back up, the men grabbed her black Lacoste purse with checks, her passport and a Rolex watch inside and a backpack with about $30,000 in cash inside, which was the restaurant’s cash deposit.
After taking her stuff, they ran off.
Her husband told investigators he thought one of the men was likely a disgruntled former employee who quit in 2022.
Investigators say they found evidence that this may not have been the first time the men, later identified as Adiyb Khan and Saleem Najeeullah, had committed similar crimes.
