Video shows masked robbers plunging through ceiling to steal $150,000 from Atlanta business

Police are asking the public for help identifying two suspects who were caught on camera dropping through the ceiling of a Georgia check cashing business and made off with approximately $150,000 in cash.

Surveillance video from inside the business recently snagged the masked duo falling through the roof into the lobby during the heist earlier this month.

The robbery took place Sept. 3 at Atlanta Check Cashers, the Atlanta Police Department confirmed to USA TODAY.

Officers responded to the business around 8:30 a.m. local time about seven miles east of downtown Atlanta for a report of a robbery.

Arriving officers learned two unidentified males entered the business through the ceiling, grabbed money from several cash drawers and a safe, and placed the money into a pink or red duffle bag.
