SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — UPDATE: Police say after checking surveillance video they no longer believe the initial witness report. They now believe people tried to help, not steal.

Police are searching for people who stole from a crashed car instead of helping the victim, who was still inside.
Officers say a woman flipped her car over in the Kroger parking lot at Roswell Road and Northridge Drive in Sandy Springs Thursday afternoon.
Witnesses say while the woman was laying injured inside the car, the first people on the scene ran up, ransacked the car and then ran off.
