Atlanta woman Emma Ebosi's phone stolen, then she's carjacked one minute later

Video of the robbery shows a group of men stealing Emma Ebosi's car, while she was being robbed by an unidentified woman in a crime that isn't connected.

Ebosi told police she was followed into the store by a woman who asked if she could use her cellphone. Ebosi refused. The woman then followed her out of the store, jumped her from behind and snatched her phone.

Ebosi dropped her keys during the assault. As she ran after the phone thief, another surveillance camera captured three men walking down Northside Drive toward the gas station. They watched the women fight, then one of them picked up Ebosi's keys. They climbed into the victim's vehicle and drove off.

Ebosi was over at the gas pumps, her back tued to her vehicle, unaware she was being victimized a second time. The phone thief climbed into a red Nissan Sentra and pulled off.

Ebosi tued around to walk back to the store to get help, and realized her vehicle was gone.  The suspects remain at-large.
