Stealing Comcast amplifier
from cable box -
Two men in dual wheel
pick-up stopped in front of our house - passenger got out - removed
cover from cable box - cut out the amplifier - in 2 minutes they were
gone. We have recently installed cameras around our house.
We were able to look back at the recorded motion and were able
to give the Comcast Security officer the video. It was very dark
at the time but Comcast said that they believe they can work with the
video to identify the truck. We are able to record all
vehicles that enter Henderson Summit. According to Comcast five
of these amplifiers were stolen the same night. This is only making our
cable more expensive. The vehicle had a row of lights on top of
the cab. The Comcast Officer suggested that we could
better monitor the neighborhood if we did not park cars on the street.

Car Jacking
at Briarcliff Village |
"You may have heard, an
Evansdale staff member was carjacked Wednesday afternoon (10/19) in
the Briarcliff Village parking lot after shopping at Party City for
the Pink Pajama Jam. She is okay but very shaken as you can imagine.
She was putting items in her trunk when a man got into her driver’s
seat. She approached the man, he produced a gun and demanded
Keys and cell phone. Then he allowed her to walk away. Folks, Be
careful, do not approach a man that gets in your car. Be aware
of people loitering around you. It seems as if we are entering into
our holiday crime pattern early this year. Please spread the word to
your neighborhood watch leaders, friends, and neighbors to let folks
know to be extra cautious when out shopping. (Source: Embry Hills

"A Peppermint Drive
neighbor reported the following event which took place: An
unsolicited person that came to my door at 2:45 pm Monday, August 29.
A young Caucasian girl about 5'1" with long dark hair and olive skin
came to the door in a purple dress holding a bottle of Snuggle fabric
softener. My husband thought it was someone we knew and opened
the glass door to the carport. She walked very quickly and put a
Snuggle bottle on the counter where I was working and said she
represented a company that was offering carpet cleaning and/or 3
pieces of furniture in this neighborhood. I told her no and she
tried to talk more. We both were saying no and she took the
bottle off the counter and left never stating the name of the company.
I called 911 immediately and reported this incident. The girl
was driving a large dark SUV and had it parked in the driveway making
my husband think it was someone I must know." (Source:

taking things from a yard sale. Two suspects wearing ball caps
and shorts carried items across Henderson Road to parked car on Aspen
Court. The car, with its trunk lid up and partially burned out
driver side tail light, turned onto Henderson Road. Three police
cars responded and interviewed neighbor and homeowner. Yard sale
items were taken from driveway. Police were thanked for their
quick response. Police are on the look about for the car and
suspects. This is a reminder to please keep yards clear of any
belongings and lock car doors. Be alert!" (Source:

Suspicious
Activity |
"This afternoon a white boxy car (possibly a Kia) pulled up in two
different drives. The first person told them to leave the
neighborhood. They then went to the other side of Henderson Estates
and seeing an elderly neighbor in the yard pulled in the driveway and
one got out, ran to her and hugged her saying it had been a long time
since they had seen her. She wanted the neighbor to meet her baby.(
Young lady in her 20s and another young lady in 30s.) This neighbor
walked to the car (trying to remember if she knew this person) and
spoke to a girl around 7 years of age. They said they were hot and
could they talk in the house. (You see all the red flags, don't
you????) They went into the house and starting telling all kinds of
problems and asked for $100.00. (They had dark hair, dark brown eyes
and olive complexions) This person did not give any money. The
neighbor was told by another neighbor that she should call 911 and
she did. Three (3) police officers came and made out a ticket. Said
that they would be patrolling the neighborhood all night.
Also, a new model truck with an olive complexion male was pulling
up into driveways attempting to make a sale of some kind today. Be
very careful!
The police suggested that we put this information out immediately
and tell anyone seeing either of these two vehicles in their
neighborhood to watch them and call 911 immediately. This is the only
way we can catch these people who are a threat to people in our
neighborhood.
If you saw these persons and they came up to you please call 91 and
then call one of us.
Please, please do not talk with strangers, and do not go near their
cars or invite them into your home. Be very leery about strangers, no
matter how nice they look. Criminals come in all different sizes,
shapes and colors. Please remember to keep an extra eye out for the
children this summer. We are a neighborhood committed to look
out for each other!"

Potential
casing of home |
"one
homeowner was at work, another in the basement watching a movie with
visiting family member.
All of the lights upstairs were off, all of a sudden someone
started literally banging on the door and ringing the bell over and
over…(homeowner) was very surprised by this and ran upstairs!, he
looked out the window there was NO one there. They went outside to
look for someone while shouting a warning as they called 911. The
operator told him that this IS a common tactic among thieves who are
casing houses around the holidays. They bang on the doors to see if
there is any activity in the house or to see if there is an alarm
system, if not, they break through the door and take what they can.
Homeowner asked that they send a squad car to the neighborhood to look
around and at least to show a police presence. This is very scary,
especially when so many people are away for the holidays! Thought you
should know so that you can be safe and also know you will pass this
on! We were curious if this may have happened to anyone else in the
neighborhood."

Purse
snatching |
A Chamblee/Tucker area homeowner "... called Friday to report that a
friend of hers had her purse snatched from her car at the Embry Hills
Kroger that day. She had just been to the Wells Fargo bank in that
parking lot and withdrew $300 in cash. She believes that the
perpetrator was watching her. When she parked her car near Kroger, she
was approached by a man (clean cut and well dressed). He told her that
the tire pressure in one of her back tires was low. When she went to
the back of the car to look, another man reached into the car and took
her purse from the seat. She believes that the two men fled on foot as
no car was seen. No one else in the vicinity witnessed anything that
would be of help to the police. Let this be a warning to be alert and
aware this season."

the lock off the street side of my tool box and stole my ladder and an
extension cord. Not a huge loss, but noteworthy nonetheless."
"Today, Oct 25th, around 10:30 am a black Toyota Tundra with windows
blacked out was going to houses in the Cul De Sac on Lake Flair Circle
where there were no cars in the carport. He took a ladder from
one neighbor and could not tell what he got from the 2 other houses he
went to. He is a 5'9" to 5'11" with balding short blond/grey
hair . Approximate age 27 to 35. Police were called with description

Invasion |
Security Alert from Oak Grove UMC:
Dear
Oak Grove Member
This past Monday, 4/5/10, a church member's home was invaded by a male
individual who robbed the couple at knife-point. This action caused a
church lock-down and a community sweep by the Dekalb County Police and
Canine Units. Fortunately, our members were not physically harmed.
Unfortunately, the perpetrator was not apprehended.
Yesterday, another armed robbery occurred in our community as well.
Today, the Dekalb County Police Mobile Command Unit is parked in our
lower parking lot across from YCS on FairOaks road. The mobile units
are combing the area as well.
I am in continued contact with DeKalb Police Department through my
contacts and will seek to keep you apprised as develops are shared.
This Security Alert is not designed to alarm but inform and heighten
your awareness for self, your property and community. If at anytime
you observe anything or anyone out of the ordinary do not hesitate to
contact 911.
I have listed some safety techniques to keep in mind:
-
Install solid core
doors, heavy duty locks, and window security devices
-
Lock all doors,
windows, and garages at all times
-
Use four three-inch screws to secure
heavy duty lock strike plates in the door frame
- Use the door peephole BEFORE
opening the
door
-
Use your porch light to help you to
see clearly outside
-
Never rely on a
chain-latch as a barrier to partially open the door
-
Never open the door
to strangers or solicitors
-
Call the police if
the stranger acts suspicious
-
Alert your neighbors
to suspicious solicitors
-
Hold a family
meeting to discuss home security plans
-
Set the home perimeter alarm at
night, if you have one
-
If you are going out
of town make sure you inform your neighbor so that he/she may watch
out for your property and home
-
Make sure you know
your neighbors and have their telephone number handy
-
Anytime you come
home and drive up in your driveway, look around and observe your
property BEFORE getting out of the car
Regardless of where you are or what you are doing: ALWAYS BE AWARE OF
YOUR SURROUNDINGS.
Again, NEVER hesitate to contact 911 when something doesn't seem
right.

Theft of
garage tools |
"We
wanted to let you know of an incident at our home this past Saturday.
At approximately 6:30 in the evening (in complete daylight) Tom and
Liam had just come in the house and had the garage door open with one
of our cars in the garage and one parked in front of it in the
driveway. Within about 5 minutes Liam was heading back out to play
basketball and found a man helping himself to our tools in the garage
closet. Liam yelled “Hey” at him and then yelled in to us, “ Dad there
is a man taking your compressor!” I was just a second or two behind
Liam on my way to move our car and saw the man getting into his car
which was pulled all the way up our driveway. He threw the car in
reverse and I ran out yelling at him and followed him down the
driveway screaming as loudly as I could. His car stalled out in the
street long enough for me to get a good look at his face and Tom to
get a partial license plate. He was driving a newer model dark slate
gray Dodge Durango with a handicap plate with a wheel chair logo
beginning with the letters DL…. He was a tall (about 6 ft) black man
with slightly graying hair, wearing a ball cap. We think he was likely
in his 40-50s (although we are all not quite in agreement as to his
age). Unfortunately, this all happened so fast that we were unable to
do much more and wish we had had a cell phone to have been able to
take a picture of the man and his license plate but did not have one
handy.
We called
911 immediately and they sent a policeman within about 10 minutes and
we filed a police report. Now we are just another statistic in our
neighborhood. If you see the described car in the neighborhood again,
please get the license plate number and report it.
Luckily no one was hurt in this incident but it is sad
that this story is becoming so common place. Please share this with

"We have an open carport
that is in the back of the house (i.e. it does not face the road, you
have to come around to the back of the house to get to the carport.)
This morning, both my husband’s car and my car had been broken into.
Both cars were unlocked and had nothing of importance in them, so
besides some loose change, nothing was taken that we noticed. They
simply opened the car door and then went through our glove
compartments, arm rests, and any other compartments that they could
find. We knew they had been there because they left our car doors
somewhat open, and left all of the compartments open." (Source:

"Wanted to make everyone
aware that my neighbor's house on Thornridge Way was broken into today
between 12:00 noon - 4:00 pm. Someone went in through the sliding
glass doors off of a back porch and took quite a bit--a tv, alot of
jewelry (both expensive and costume)--even took the drawers that the
jewelry was stored in, coin(s), moved mattresses off beds, and took
purses out of the closet. She is continuing to take inventory for the
police report. They left her computer and silver, but did go thru the
mail that was on the kitchen table where bills were being
paid. Unfortunately, no one around me was at home during these hours,
so nobody saw anything. The good thing was that my neighbor was not
at home at the time of the breakin. Police were notified and
report was filed. (Source:

Someone broke a car window and stole a GPS system from
the car. The GPS was "loose" i.e. not installed in the dash, but was
sitting in the back seat of the car and visible from the outside. It
must have been a quick "smash and grab" as we did not hear anything
that evening and the car was parked about 15 feet from 2 bedroom
windows. There were 4 boxes/bags of Christmas gifts in the car that
were NOT taken. We did call the police and an officer came out to
make a report. We also reported it to our Neighborhood Watch. The
police officer said that they've been getting about 4 reports of
break-ins per day lately, an increase due to the holiday season.
Definitely a wake-up call not to leave anything of value in the car. |

invasion: |
We had an individual enter our house while I was home by myself.
After ringing the front doorbell hundreds of times and throwing large
tree branches at our windows, she went into my car, got the garage
door opener, opened the garage and proceeded to come into our home.
By this time, I had 911 on the phone and was instructed to lock myself
in our master bedroom bathroom. By the time the police arrived (three
separate units, within about 10 minutes, which I was VERY happy about)
she was kicking the bedroom door and was one more door away from
getting to me. The police escorted her out of our home and a report
has been filed with the DeKalb County Police Department. This
individual is a Caucasian female with brown hair. She is
approximately 5'4" and weighs around 250 pounds. She is currently off
of medication for Bipolar Disorder and Severe Depression and is a
potential danger to anyone with whom she comes into contact. She
drives a new model Nissan Sentra with North Carolina tags. The
car is either silver or tan. Update from homeowner: This
was an isolated incident that has been resolved in court. |

"This

I answered he said he was selling gutters. Before he went any further,
I asked him if he had a permit to be selling and he said, "Yes". I
asked him to show it to me and he said he did not have it with him. I
explained that we have a close neighborhood watch and if he did not
have a permit he needed to leave the neighborhood. I also told him I
was going to call the police. He then started screaming and yelling at
me. I shut the door and immediately called the police. While on the
phone with the police I saw that there was a second black male, who
also appeared to be in his early twenties, also wearing a bright blue
shirt, waiting in the street at the top of our driveway. When I
stepped back outside and when they saw that I was on the phone, they
made rude hand gestures to me and started jogging up the street toward
Lone Star. I can only assume the police came, but I never talked with
them." Additional

a kick or some kind of blow that busted the inside frame. My deadbolt
receptacle had 2 inch screws, the repair estimator recommends 3 inch
screws (check yours and change them now). I have an estimate of over

Robbery at Advance Auto Parts |
"Greetings, This week I received a few emails from neighbors asking
about a robbery at the Advance Auto Parts store on Chamblee-Tucker
Road in the Embry Hills Shopping Center. I apologize for not
responding sooner. I was out of town on business. Tonight I
stopped by the store and spoke to the manager to get the facts. I can
confirm that the store was robbed at gun point on Saturday, April 11.
According to the manager, who was on duty that day, three
African-American teenagers (about 16 or 17 years of age) came into the
store on that busy Saturday afternoon. With the store filled with
customers, they pulled out guns and demanded money from the store.
One of the perpetrators pointed his gun at the head of a two year old
child and threatened to kill the child if they didn't get the money
fast. Fortunately, the incident ended without anyone getting hurt.
They ran away after one of the customers ran out of the store. They
got only the money in the cash registers. The manager has now hired
an armed security guard, and is installing surveillance cameras
throughout the store. The manager said these guys spent a
considerable amount of time in the store asking questions and ordering
parts before they pulled out their guns. One of them stayed outside
the store while it was being held up to keep people from going
inside. They did not wear any disguises, other than sunglasses.
Information about this incident was not provided by the police, or by
any news source. It was discovered by a neighbor who happened to be
at the Goodyear store and heard about it from the store clerk. This
is an example of how important it is to have a neighborhood watch
group and a communication network. It is a dangerous world, and
you should always be alert of your surroundings. Stay safe."

Door to Door Sales - Scam Alert |
"On
Friday evening, between 7:00 and 7:30 p.m., I was working in my
carport at Peppermint Dr. when a young man walked up the street and
into my driveway. He looked like he was about 17 years old,
white/Hispanic, with dark hair and was wearing a yellow Polo shirt,
tan shorts, and athletic sneakers. He said that he lived in the
neighborhood, on Hershey, and that he was trying to raise money for
his soccer team to go to Europe for a game this summer. He said that
to raise money he was selling children’s books. After some discussion
about this, my wife joined in the discussion. He said that if we
didn’t want the books that they would be given to a children’s
hospital. Since this sounded like a good cause, we decided to buy a
set of books for the children’s hospital. However, by this time I was
beginning to be a little suspicious because when I asked him if he
lived on Hershey Ct. or Hershey Lane, he said he thought it was
Hershey Rd. I then asked him for his phone number, and he gave me a
number in area 770. After he started to leave he turned back and
asked to use our bathroom, and I said OK. While he was in the
bathroom, I called the phone number he had given me and the number did
not exist. When I confronted him with this, he said it was his mom’s
cell phone and the number had been changed recently, and he then gave
me a different number, also a 770 area code. I called that number and
it did not exist. After an additional failed attempt to get a phone
number, I asked him to return the check. He said that he would not.
I told him if he didn’t return the check, that I would call the
police. At that point, he tore up the check and jerked the receipt
out of my hand, called me a few names, and left, saying he was going
to get his mother and come back. I told him that I would walk to his
home on Hershey with him, but he would not allow that. I then called
the DeKalb police, and they came about 2 hours later and took a
report. The booklet that he showed us with the information on the
books to be purchased was printed by Prestige Sales and that is the
party that he asked the check to be made to. A quick search on the
internet showed that Prestige Sales is a company that trains people in
door to door sales of books. I have not yet contacted this company.
The young man said his name was Mike Hughes and that his mother’s name
was Cathy Hughes."

We were very fortunate that the dog was not harmed and that we were

am comforted in seeing that this time, the locks held, and that they
had to work hard on the door to kick it in and crawl through the hole
that they had created. But it is scary to see the level of desperation
that people seem to be reaching. Luckily, 2 neighbors were very

(they probably thought it was a shotgun). They took the DVR remote but
were unable to get the DVR and stereo system due to the way it's
hooked up. All of those components were hanging off the shelves by
the cords. None of our neighbors were home at the time. I believe our
home was an easy target. We have a carport instead of a garage, plus
it does not face the street. We usually leave a radio on during the
day, but yesterday, did not have it on. Be aware! The alarm was not
set. The police arrived in about 30 minutes." (Source: NBCA

theft:

"... two items stolen from

they concentrate their efforts on areas where thefts are reported.
I'd urge the three neighbors whose mail was also stolen to report the
theft so that the postal people will get to our area and investigate
..."
Henderson Park entrance
... A concerned neighbor noticed pile of papers and envelopes stacked
up on the curb near the Henderson Park gate approximately 12:30pm on
2/9/09 ..."it
appeared that most were addresses on Thornridge Drive, and were taken
out of even numbered mailboxes. It appeared that the bills were left
unopened, but the opened ones included quite a variety--most of the
contents missing. There were birthday cards to someone--the cards were
there but the contents (?) and envelopes missing, medical statements,
someone's social security envelope with the social security statement
missing, a brown padded envelope that I later learned contained a
video game--there were probably about 50 pieces of mail. I got the few
names from envelopes that I could and went around to the people on
Thornridge Drive to let them know I had found their stolen mail. What
became apparent as I went to these houses was that there were other
mailboxes (also on the even no. side) whose mailbox doors were open
and nothing in the mailboxes--and nobody home. I took the mail over to
the Doraville P.O. and left it with the Postmaster and now it will
have to go to their Investigation Department ..."
"... gold
colored van with about 4 young Hispanic men drove by my house
(Northbrook Dr.) around 11a.m. and attempted to steal my mail .. men
drove away quickly when they noticed observant neighbor watching
...Northbrook also has had several houses hit with someone stealing

Most of the mail was for [2 homeowners] in the Chelsea Commons condos
across LaVista on Brockett. Some financial documents were opened
and several mail was unopened. One opened 1099 report, for a neighbor
in this neighborhood, was also found. One of those that found the mail
reports that the mail wasn't there at 6:50 am in the morning, but it
was there by 7:20 am We called the police and made report. The
people who are victims also need to file
reports. Police have several reports for Tucker neighborhoods with
mail theft including IRS reports and tax refunds. The police at first
said they would pick up, then said for us to take to post office."

Hooray for DeKalb Police |
"This
is from a neighbor on Terramar about an incident that happened this
morning. As you may already know, Dekalb County PD arrested
someone on Terramar Dr early this morning (@ 3:00AM). An alert
neighbor observed a suspicious person entering vehicles and called
911. Dekalb County PD responded quickly and were able to capture the
suspect in a driveway of another house. It also turns out that the
suspect had tried to break into the garage of the same house he was
captured in front of. Earlier on today, what is believed to be the
suspect's parked vehicle was recovered; parked in the street not too
far from where the suspect was arrested. The vehicle is an older
model blue/green Toyota with noticeable damage to the rear (no
license plate, only an expired paper driveout tag in the rear
window. The vehicle had additional property in it which is believed
to be stolen. The only description I have been able to gather from
neighbors so far is that the suspect was an adult aged
African-American male wearing a dark colored hoodie. I was not around
and have not had a chance to speak with police or the detective;
however, it is my understanding that Detective G. Buynoski
(404-294-2813) is involved in the investigation and had been out and
talked with some of the neighbors. I was wondering if you had any
contacts or any way of sending any e-mails out to any surrounding
neighborhoods to have them check their vehicles to make sure that
nothing was stolen over night, especially if their vehicles were
unlocked (may not have used their vehicle today and noticed theft;
suspect even closed trunk of one vehicle he entered and shut the doors
back. It is important to let Dekalb PD know of any other thefts
overnight so that they can be linked to the suspect if he is the one
that committed them. I was also told that there is possibly a video
of someone committing a theft on Townley Cir; and if so, maybe we
could get it to Dekalb to see if it is the same person. Let me know
of anything else I can do to assist."

The home was being rented by what were thought to be a couple of

from the house. Apparently earlier in the day DeKalb police also
raided another home in a nearby neighborhood for drugs as well. That
house was apparently the lead house for the drugs and the Smoketree

residents near Greystone Cove South in the Greystone North subdivision
were mugged in front of their house. The three victims arrived
home to find a large trashcan blocking the driveway forcing a

her and snatched her purse. The two men then opened the doors of
the car and took the purses of the other passenger and driver, and ran
off toward the neighborhood entrance where a black/dark old Mercedes
was parked. The attackers were two skinny African American men
wearing dark clothing. Please report any suspicious activity to

(off LaVista Road) |
Vehicle Break-In, Reward Offered |
"Last
Thursday at approximately 5:00 I discovered that my white panel van
had been vandalized. It was parked by the Tucker 1st Methodist Church
BBQ shed. The driver’s side window had been broken and the ignition
wiring harness had been cut and it appeared that someone had attempted
to hot wire the ignition. I called the police and after almost four
hours someone called me back. A mechanic friend of mine and I
attempted unsuccessfully to reconnect the ignition switch so I could
relocate the van.
I checked on the truck Friday morning just before noon to find that no
other damage had been done.
This morning (Monday) upon arrival during my routine check of the
campus, I noticed that the right side window and windshield had been
broken. It appeared that a further attempt to hot wire the ignition
had been made. I also noticed pieces of roofing shingles on the
ground around my panel van and the TFUMC van next to it. That TFUMC
van had pieces of shingles on its roof. When looking for a source of
the shingles I noticed that the peak of the BBQ shed appeared to be
missing shingles. I had the truck towed about noon today. I then went
to the Activities Center to check on the custodians and Leo told me
that on Friday afternoon he had observed several youth on top of the
BBQ shed. He said that they were dressed like some of the kids who
play basketball at the Wesley Center.
I am willing to offer a 100.00 reward for the capture of the culprit(s).
My mechanic friend, who runs a commercial truck dealership informs me
that the repairs will exceed 2000.00."

Tucker WalMart |
Stranger at car encounter: |
"I want to tell you
about what happened to me at the Walmart in Tucker this morning. I was
there by myself and was putting two bags in the back of my car. It's a
Pilot so it has the hatchback. The next thing I knew, there was this
guy standing right next to me. He was an older white guy- dressed in
business casual clothes, but wearing a red baseball cap. I assume he
either followed me from the store or was watching me from his car. He
said hello and then asked if I was done shopping- and then said, "if
you're going home, can I go with you?" I was completely freaked out by
this point and closed the hatchback- not even worrying about whacking
him in the head, but he stepped aside. I went to move around him to
get to the driver side and he stepped to the side so he was back in
front of me. I realized that all the doors were unlocked and he could
get into the car if he wanted, but if I locked them, I would be locked
out. So I scrambled around the back of the car, got in the passenger
seat and locked the doors. Then I crawled over the middle and got in
the driver seat- only to realize that he was standing next to the
driver's door, waving at me through the window. I started the car and
decided I would just run over his feet or knock him down if I had to,
but he moved and by the time I backed out, he was gone. I saw him get
into a tan, older American car, but I couldn't see the license plate-
and I did not want to start following him. I was so rattled that I
drove a roundabout way getting home, in case he was following me. I
realize now that I should have gone next door to the Tucker police
station, but I didn't even think of it at the time. I'm not going to
that Walmart by myself again."
Tips
from the woman's
neighbor
- "I
asked her to contact the Tucker Precinct tomorrow and file a report.
Other options if something similar happens to you:
- Set your car alarm off. It's sure to get everyone's attention and
that's the last thing a perpetrator wants.
- Run back toward the store yelling.
- Drive to the nearest police station in case you are being followed.
- Try to be aware when you are loading your vehicle. Don't get so
distracted that you don't notice someone approaching you.
Luckily, this neighbor did keep her wits and was able to safely get
into her car and get away. She even has an pretty good description of
the guy and his car. It would have been great if she'd gotten the
license plate number. (Source: Email forwarded by Henderson Road

"I wanted to send

walking with one of my girlfriends this AM and we were past the tennis
courts and close to the soccer fields when we encountered a naked
African American male. Luckily my friend saw him and we turned and ran
out as fast as we could. Luckily, a lady happened to be driving in her
car and stopped when she heard us yelling. I called the police and
they did a wonderful job. They were there in 5 minutes. My friend gave
them a great description and they actually found him within 20
minutes. They did arrest him and take him to jail. I will have more
information once I obtain the report. When the police found him he was
wearing a towel and to-shirt. He told the police he went into a garage
and approached the male homeowner who gave him these clothes. I would
hope no one would do this without actually calling 911. The officer
wanted me to get this out to everyone and remind them that the more
watchful we are of things like this the quicker they can find someone.
Please remember although we have a great neighborhood the park is not

perpetrator walked into the garage, pointed a gun at her before she
had a chance to exit her vehicle, and asked for her purse and phone.
He told her he would leave the phone at the bottom of her driveway
next to the mailbox, which he did. He was a 20 something black male
of medium height and build, clean shaven, short hair and very polite.
Thankfully, she gave him the items and he did not harm her. She does
not think he followed her home, so that means he was probably
waiting. The police came and took the information. Watch out.

"Our home at [#] Bolero Drive was broken
into this morning (Monday 7 July) around 8:40 am. Nothing was taken,
but our back door and locks were destroyed. |
Details:
This morning, [homeowners] were packing the kids up for
their respective camps and walking around our two cars in the driveway
when two teenaged boys walked past our driveway, heading out of
the development. We wouldn't have thought much of it, except they
seemed to be taking great interest in our activity and [homeowner]
noticed that they were sitting on the side steps of the middle school
as we drove away at 8:30 am. At 8:45 am, [homeowner] got a call from
our alarm company, saying that our house alarm had been triggered. We
called [our neighbors] and asked them to keep an eye out for these two
boys that we'd seen earlier. Unfortunately, the police did not arrive
at our house until 9:05 am, a full 20 minutes after the alarm system
call. The officers secured the perimeter and discovered that our back
door had been kicked in and was ajar. Fortunately, it does not appear
that the intruder(s) made it into the house, as the
alarm was triggered instantly. Although there were several electronic
items in the room to which they tried to gain access, these items were
undisturbed. The intruder(s) ended up walking
through the mud in our backyard, leaving muddy footprints on the door,
but not inside the house, providing additional evidence that they did
not enter the house. The police confirmed that the
intruders were not inside the house at the time of their investigation
some 20-30 min after the initial alarm signal.
However, the door was kicked with such force that the "unkickable" deadbolt
lock was shattered, with pieces both in and outside of the house, and
the glass frame of the door was bent. We were surprised at the
boldness of this action, as both [our two immediate neighbors) were at
home at the time of the break-in. The intruder(s) entered our back
yard through our side
gate. The door that they kicked in is situated in a way that
it cannot be seen easily from either immediate neighbor's yards.
Thus, the intruder(s) were at least savvy enough to try to enter our
house through the most secluded point. We do have an alarm system
sign in the front yard and stickers on multiple doors and windows,
including on the door that was kicked in. That was not enough of a
deterrent, obviously.
We wanted to alert everyone to this incident ... We were suspicious of
these two young boys initially and we are pretty sure that they are
the ones that kicked the door in, since it happened within 15 minutes
of our departure. ... (from

On Saturday, June 28th at about 10:00
p.m. my wife and I were out of town and received a call from our
next door neighbor who had personally witnessed a white work van
(with ladder rack but no ladders) park in front of our house in
Briarcliff Commons. Knowing we were out of town she continued to
watch the van and ultimately observe a tall, skinny male
(unfortunately she could not identify race or get a tag number) get
out of the van, retrieve something from the rear compartment, and
walk around the side of our house to a gate area where he spent a
few minutes. She called the police who took the usual 15-20 minutes
to arrive. By that time he noticed her watching him, returned to the
van and left. He never entered the house. Our house has been
previously burglarized (2006) and the van/M.O. were the same. We do
have signs on the locked gate that he approached indicating that we
do have security and that we are armed.

Jenni The following
additional details about the break in were provided by Nestor Y., an area Neighborhood
Watch Coordinator:
-
A person walking their dog saw something suspicious and called the
police;
-
Three
Black males, ages 17,18 and 19, were caught with the stolen goods at
the Lake Louise Apartments parking lot. It is believed that one of
these guys lives in an apartment in the complex. The police chased
(on foot) and caught two of the guys in the parking lot. The police
found the third guy hiding out in an apartment;
-
After
they parked their car in the far corner of the parking lot, near
Evans Road, they walked across the street and entered the
[homeowners'] property through a back gate (which fronts Evans
Road);
-
They
broke in through the rear sliding glass door. They were able to get
it unlocked with a tool;
-
The
items stolen were electronic gaming toys (such as Playstation), gold
jewelry, cash and small items which can be stuffed into a backpack.
They tried to take a large TV, but decided it was too much trouble;
-
No
one was home at the time of the burglary;
-
The
stolen items were recovered in the trunk of their car and some items
were hidden in the woods next to the parking lot;
-
They
also took car keys for a car which was not in the driveway or
garage. It appears that they were planning to come back at a later
time to take the car;
The police did a great job responding to the call and apprehending
these guys. They even called out the helicopter to search for the
third suspect. Police officers from the North Precinct made the
arrests. They later admitted that since this area is on the border
between the North Precinct and the Tucker Precinct and they don't
patrol it often, they were unfamiliar with the neighborhood.
This is the second major problem we've had with the Lake Louise
Apartments. If you remember about a year ago an off-duty police
officer shot and killed a teenager who broke into his apartment."

Theft from mailboxes: |
"Here
is another unfortunate neighborhood news item. I got a call Monday
afternoon from a lovely man who lives on Nottaway Court. While walking
his dog, he saw envelopes that had been opened (and contents removed)
tossed by the side of the road. There were a number of pieces of mail,
and two of them happened to be personal correspondences I had written.
I had my return address labels on the two envelopes, and he took the
time to look up my phone number. I had put these two pieces of mail in
my mailbox (Northbrook Drive) on Sunday night, and without thinking I
raised the red flag on my mailbox. Clark Howard says to
never do this, but I wasn't thinking. Apparently someone drove down
Northbrook, opened mailboxes, and removed mail that was in there. He
said that one envelope looked like a tax bill of some kind, and the
check was gone. I have no idea how extensive this theft was, but you
all may want to think back to whether or not you may have had anything
in your mailbox Sunday night or Monday that may have been kept by
these people.
It is sad to know that there are dishonest predators in our gentle
neighborhood. I would encourage everyone to mail letters at a post
office....or at least don't make the mistake I did and raise your red
mailbox flag." (Source: Nottaway Neighborhood Watch) |

Home Break In/ Burglary reported and Note
from Homeowner: |
Two African American teenagers/young adults were seen walking behind
the homes on Bolero Drive carrying a 30 inch plus plasma television.
Another homeowner tried to call to them, and they ran into the area of
a nearby apartment community. Police were called. They
responded and walked the trails in the woods between Henderson Middle
and Bolero investigating for any additional evidence.
Update: "Dearest
neighbors - First I wanted to thank each of you from the bottom of my
heart for your overwhelming support and kindness to this event. Many
of you have gone way beyond the call of duty to help with the response
to a neighbor in need. Additionally, I wanted to let you know that
this crime was far greater than we had originally suspected. It turns
out they not only stole the flat screen TV, but approximately $8-10,
000 of other electronics throughout the house. The reason I share
this is that the extent of this crime is far more serious than we
thought and more likely that the youth involved are/were more
deliberate than suspected. Please be aware and watchful.
Hopefully the two youth will be found and prosecuted thanks to all the
efforts of this wonderful neighborhood. Laura"

Wal
Mart |
The
following email was forwarded by neighbor Phil C. |
Neighbors,
A few
weeks ago, my neighbor on Briarglen Dr.was at Wal Mart shopping. He
was approached by a young man in his 20's, who gave the story that he
had just had surgery and could not lift boxes. He asked my neighbor
who is in his 80's to help him get a box off of the shelf. Well, being
the helpful person he is, my neighbor reached up to get the box and
while doing so, the young man "bumped" him. Later on, my neighbor
discovered his wallet missing which had in it his credit cards, bank
receipts, and a large sum of cash as he had just made a bank
withdrawal.
Long
and short of the story, this jerk targeted my elderly neighbor and
took advantage of his kindness and helpfulness. Wal Mart was very
helpful in looking with the police at surveillance video, but could
not get a real clear front picture of the guy. My neighbor has been
concerned and distressed ever since that the guy who took his wallet
also has his banking info and home address.
Please
remember to call the police on suspicious persons, especially this
time of year. We are near Briarglen Ct. and I certainly hope this
person was not looking for my neighbor's house. After the initial
incident, tried to console my neighbor and tell him that most crooks
are opportunists and take the quick and easy way to steal something
and most would not "follow up" with a break in at a person's home. He
expressed this concern to the police numerous times and the told him
to make sure all of his neighbors are aware and keep an eye out on his
home. We all need to be very watchful of each other. Who knows this
day and time what these guys will do. |

drove around the neighborhood about 15 minutes later to see if they
were working at someone's home and did not see them. I didn't get the
tag number. But, if something funny happens over the next few weeks,
keep this in mind. I've heard crimes go up before the holidays as

"A
house on Terramar Court (a cul de sac street between Chamblee Tucker
and Gladney Drive) was targeted to be burglarized today. An alert
neighbor saw what was happening and went outside with a cell phone to
call the police. The neighbor got a complete description of the
perpetrators and their vehicle. This happened today (Tuesday,
November 13) at 1:33 p.m. Here are the details:
The home had the garage door open and no cars parked inside or in the
driveway. The garage door does not face the street and was left open
for a reason. The home owners were not at home at the time. The
perpetrators drove into the cul de sac slowly looking for
opportunities. One of the males got out of the car and walked up the
driveway to scope out the situation. The vehicle then backed into the
driveway up close to the house. This is when the neighbor came out
with his cell phone. When they saw him coming they left in a hurry.
The neighbor got the following information:
Vehicle: Tan 1997 Ford Explorer
GA Tag: AFN 8373 (The police said the car is registered to a 39
year old male living in Roswell. The car is not reported stolen.)
Perpetrators: (believed to be juveniles) one White male; one Black
male with dread locks; one Hispanic male with thin beard. There was
also a driver but no description was provided.
It is believed that these burglars maybe targeting our neighborhood.
Last week a house on Bloxom Court was burglarized (Bloxom Court is the
next block over from Terramar Court). The items stolen, such as
liquor, appear to be consistent with burglaries committed by
juveniles, according to the police. Fingerprints were lifted from
this crime scene.
Please keep a lookout for this vehicle and if you see it on your
street report it to the police immediately." (Nestor

"Yesterday (13
November 2007) one of our neighbors on Bloxham Court, came home from
vacation to find they had been broken into sometime within this past
week.
The assailant(s) entered through a downstairs window (wooded area at
the back of their house), breaking through the double-pained glass
(not easily done!). They (presumed plural, but unknown) went through
the house, rifling drawers and closets everywhere. Ended-up stealing a
small safe containing the homeowner's fine jewelry (including
engagement ring, etc.) and small, easily sold/pawned, quick-cash
items. They went though, but left behind prescription medications
and consumed while there, a half bottle of cognac.
Quite obviously this was pull-off by inexperienced burglars, most
likely youth/teenagers. The police were able to obtain several, very
well defined finger prints. It is also presumed by their thoroughness,
this/these assailant(s) knew the owners were not there and weren't
coming home anytime soon.
Obviously we are in 'this' season once again. This type of activity
always seems to elevate just before the holidays. Please make an extra
effort to take care of your own property. Lock your doors/windows,
cars and garages everyday. Be sure your homes are secure and
especially, when you are driving through the neighborhood, keep an eye
out for suspicious activity. There was another report I
heard last night, of a woman/girl knocking on peoples' doors this past
weekend, asking if they needed their gutters cleaned. It is
recommended that you kindly advise them that there is NO door-to-door
soliciting in your neighborhood (without a county issued permit) and
that you will be calling the police to advise of their activity. This
very well could have been legitimate, but also could very well
be someone casing the neighborhood. Strange vehicles and/or
pedestrians going though the neighborhood need to be observed and
noted (description, time & date). We all need to watch-out for our own
families, but also for each other.
Be safe, remain alert and have a Happy Thanksgiving!"

Neighborhood. A Neighborhood Block Captain coming home stopped and
asked the men for more information. One man showed a clipboard of
the Tucker/Northlake area with various areas circled where "they" would be
doing home repair/renovations work and wanted to advise/apologize to
any neighbors for the noise. He indicated that he was not selling
anything but with "Vantage" Marketing company and showed a sheet with
company logos for home related products. He could not show a county
issued permit badge, only a "homemade looking' badge with his name and
photo. He indicated an off duty police officer had stopped him
earlier, looked at the badge, and indicated he was ok without a permit.
Block Captain called 911 and reported to Police.

followed home from Kroger at 8 PM last Tuesday evening. She noticed
the car but thought it must be a neighbor. She pulled her SUV into the

jumped her from behind, pulled her down and choked her rendering her
unconscious for a few seconds. When she woke up, the man was starting
up her car. He drove away in her silver Volvo SUV. Her car or the man
have not been apprehended. Here is how she described the perpetrator.
White male, young with a baby face, blond short hair and light eyes.
He is slender, not too tall and wore a medium brown leather jacket.
She said he sort of looked like the rap singer Eminem. Her very large

Suspicious
door-to-door magazine and book sellers in area neighborhoods.
Specific details follow ... |
"In response to the info about
suspicious door-to-door magazine sellers, there have been lots of
responses of similar experiences lately, some selling magazines, some
selling children's books.
Another thread runs through many of the reports ... the seller tells
the occupant that his mother lives in the neighborhood. Sometimes he
either gives a first name for his mother (which is not recognized) and
sometimes he names a street that is a couple streets away. Asked once
for his mother's last name, a seller left. He sometimes says that the
books he's "selling" are going to be donated to a children's hospital,
which he cannot name. There are never any samples. This is happening
in the middle of the day.
On Sunset Drive, a neighbor has more than twice over the last months
had a young man (~24) come to the door after dark (~7:45pm),
indicating he "was our neighbor from 2494" without any street name,
and had to "sell just 2 more subscriptions to meet his quota" but a
cash donation would suffice. The seller was freezing cold but seemed
clean.
There are varied possibilities for the intent of these "salesman".
Maybe they are looking for unoccupied houses to enter. Or maybe
they're being dropped off the neighborhood to see what money they can
easily garner from too-trusting people. Or both. So far, they've
just been a nuisance, but we need to be alert. The next time you talk
to your neighbors who may not be on e-mail, be sure to let them know
about that they need to be alert to this kind of thing.

Car stolen from house on Henderson Summit |
The following information was
shared by a Henderson Summit neighbor:
Thursday night the 17th of August at about 8
pm our neighbor across the street had their car stolen from their
carport.
They are a young couple with 4 boys (6 and younger). They were
all at home - upstairs bathing the kids.
A green Ford Taurus drove up. One young black fellow got out –
walked up to the house – their double garage door was up. He
first went through the SUV in the double carport and did not get
anything. Walked in the house – door was unlocked and got the
keys to the BMW in the single carport. A friend of theirs drove
up as he was getting into the BMW – She got a good look at him – as he
backed out – went around her car and drove away – toward Tucker.
The green Ford Taurus went ahead of him. The Ford had a dented
passenger side rear fender panel.
The friend rushed into the house – alerted all seven folks that were
upstairs.
They immediately called police. Police came and stayed a long
time – tried to do finger prints and all – but long story short the
car is gone and they are fortunate no one was hurt.
Just wanted you to let all neighborhoods know – Police said that it
was happening all over – going through carports – breaking in houses
and all – so keep the doors locked and garage doors down.

Homeowner while outside noticed a red Bronco or
Scout SUV parked in front of his house with headlights turned off.
The vehicle was parked near street light. Homeowner walked
towards street (about 1 1/2 car lengths from the vehicle) and could
not determine if anyone was in the vehicle. As homeowner started
back towards his house, the vehicle started up and drove up towards
Palace Court, turning left. The homeowner then drove around the
neighborhood but did see the vehicle again. The homeowner also
notified the neighbors where the vehicle had been parked across the
street from in case the vehicle's driver was looking into their house
(lights on and curtains open). |

Evening

Oak Crossing Drive
(off LaVista Road)
|
The following information was distributed by the
homeowner. It is good information for all. |
We had a strange and
disconcerting experience this evening which we wanted to pass on. We
live across LaVista Road on Oak Crossing Drive. As we were driving
home tonight from the ball park, a man came down the street slowly in
a newer model tan Toyota Camry. He was about early 40s, white male,
seemed of average build with thick, salt and pepper (mostly gray)
hair. (Unfortunately, we did not get the license plate number.)
I was outside w/ our son and he slowed down and then turned around in
the cul-de-sac and left. Then he returned as my husband and our other
son arrived home. He was in the middle of the road, blocking the
way. He pulled aside but called out to my husband that he loved our
house and wanted to talk to him. Since he would not drive away, my
husband walked out to talk to him. He said his name was Ernie
Hartwell or maybe Harwell, that he was scouting houses for movies and
that our house had good "symmetry". He asked my husband for our
"contact" information. Then our son pulled up to them on his bike.
The man started talking to our son, trying to engage our son in a
conversation. My husband told our son to go inside, which he did.
The man then pressed my husband for his contact information, which he
did not give out. My husband asked the man for his contact
information, which he declined to give and then drove off in a huff.
My husband had a bad feeling about this man the entire time.
Again, we just wanted to pass this on because it was very creepy and
scared us. |

Homeowner reported someone tampered with their
mailbox. Their mail was scattered down the street.
Neighbors found a couple of pieces of mail on 4/28. Both
envelopes had been opened with a check evidently taken out of one of
the envelopes.
Note: This is a reminder to let a neighbor
know if you are going to be out of town. Have someone pick up
your newspapers and mail. It is most important to get your mail
as soon as you can after it is delivered. (Woods of Henderson

Winding
Woods
(subdivision between
Midvale & La Vista Roads) |
A neighbor reported seeing a "suspicious" truck
driving through the Winding Woods neighborhood. The truck passed
by the same streets several times as if it was checking things out.
It was a beat-up, white, full size pick-up truck with damage to the
driver's side mirror. The back of the truck was full of junk,
and the license plate may begin with AEH. The driver appeared to
be white. A description of the passenger could not be
determined. Neighbor reported this incident to police. |

Drive &

Way
(Briaridge subdivision - near intersection
of Chamblee Tucker & Tucker Norcross Roads) |
The following information was distributed by the
homeowner and by a friend to several area neighborhood watch
groups. |
Hey guys.
I wanted to alert you all about something that just happened this
afternoon. We frequently allow Joe to play outside by himself -
while we keep an eye on him from in the house, and he often plays out
front - knowing that he isn't allowed to go near the street, talk to
strangers, etc. Just about an hour ago (about 2pm), he was
outside on the front walkway playing, and Mike came inside the house
for a moment to get something. In the 2 minutes Joe was alone, a
medium gray van (older style - looked like an old RAM1500 or something
like that) pulled up in front of the walkway and waved to Joe.
Joe started walking toward the street (thank goodness I was watching
out the window from upstairs!), he says because he thought it was
someone's grandpa. I yelled down to Mike and he
immediately opened the front door - as soon as he did, the van drove
away, before I got a plate number, towards Gladney.
I have no idea if this is cause for concern or not, but I wanted to
get the word out asap --- if this van comes around again, we should
check it out - I've never seen it before in the neighborhood.
Again, it could have just been someone driving around for a
purpose, and happened to pause in front of my house and wave
innocently. However - I don't think we can be too careful when
it comes to strangers and our kids. I hope I never see it again,
or this email turns up that it
was in fact "so and so's" grandfather's.
Anyway --- let's get the word out to either find out who the can
belongs to, or keep our eyes open.
Thanks,
Stacey

Homeowner reported that his weed eater was stolen
out of his garage. He left his garage door open for 10 minutes, and
when he walked back into the garage, an African American man in his
late 20's was standing there holding his weed eater. Homeowner
chased him. The thief ran with it and escaped to a waiting car. |

(Breckenridge subdivision located off LaVista Road)

Two black males in a white vehicle (a Suburban or a
4-door older Buick, Oldsmobile or Chevrolet) pulled up with masks and
a gun and asked a father for his wallet. He was walking his
5-year-old daughter home. Note: A
Watch coordinator in the nearby area had received three slightly
varying reports on the incident. One report suggests other
friends were also present. When the father told them he had no
wallet, one of them grabbed the daughter. Screams alerted
neighbors who called 911. Child was not abducted. |

Empire
Square
(located off Midvale Road)

Peppermint Drive neighbor observed a dark blue
older model Volvo 740 GLE parked at the southwest corner of Empire
Square at the divided island street. Neighbor drove slowly
giving the vehicle enough time to pull out in front of her.
License Plate # 508 FXL (thinks from SC). |
Homeowner noted: It was same vehicle
described on 3/27/06 with two black men in front. There were so
many plastic bags, etc in rear, I did not see the 3rd man. I
followed it out of Empire Square; it turned down Empire Forest Drive.
I continued on my way but decided to turn around and check it out.
When I arrived near end of Empire Forest Drive, they were backing out
of a driveway. I went around bend to end of cul-de-sac and
waited a few minutes. I followed them up Midvale Road; they
turned into Landeau Circle. I went up to another side street and
while waiting for them to appear, called 911. I continued to
stay on side streets along Midvale Road watching them as they
progressed in and out of the streets. I called 911 again to
report their location on Wood Creek Court as I had to get to my
appointment |

Homeowner exiting driveway observed an
older model navy blue Volvo station wagon parked in front of house on
Regency Drive West. The car then moved very, very slowly and
continued up Emperor Way hill direction. Occupants appeared to be
giving each house and yard a good long look. The vehicle had
three black males seated inside - two in front, one in the middle
seat. The car was loaded heavily - riding very low to the
ground. |

Palace Court
(located off Henderson Road)
|
Homeowner reports a man (in early
20's) with long, curly red hair came to door selling Braves' tickets.
Homeowner thought it was odd since she had just passed him about 20
minutes earlier on Henderson Road while walking her son's dog.
The man also went and stood at the corner of Peppermint Drive and
Palace Court for about an hour. Homeowner observed this activity
and contacted her son on his way home. Son stopped and asked the
man if he could help him. The man told him he was just waiting
on a ride. Someone did eventually pick up the man.
Update: Another Palace Court homeowner also received a sales
visit from this man. |

Salem Crossing
(near Midvale/Henderson Mill Road)

3/22 email note from Empire
Square neighbor: Neighbor called today with some information re:
3 break-ins at Salem Crossing - the town homes just to the west of
Empire Square - backing up to Regency Drive West. Info is sketchy and
I pass this along as a third or perhaps 4th. party with very little
detail. One person (white male) was observed leaving in a tan or
beige Toyota - make unknown- with Newton County GA tags. Be aware
there are at least 4 or 5 tan or beige Toyotas belonging to neighbors
in Empire Square----the caution is the Newton Co. identifier. I do
not know if police were called.
3/23 email note from Salem
Crossing contact: We have a note on our community bulletin board
stating there were 2 forced entry break-ins in the past 2 weeks, at
least one of which the police responded to because I saw them
finishing up last week. That one was clearly done during the
daylight hours when people are away at work. I had no details
about car or suspect descriptions. |

Sasanqua Court
(off Idlewood/Fellowship Rds)

Attempted entry - Homeowner observed a black man
walk up the sidewalk. She first thought it was the meter man
because she didn't hear a car. Within seconds, she heard the
storm door open and the front door knob turning. It was locked.
The suspect then began ringing the door bell, but homeowner didn't do
or say anything other than watch the suspect as he continued to stand
on the porch and look around. After he left the porch, he
continued to look around as he went out of site. She then saw
him back out of the drive in a white truck, with a camper cover on the
back. He drove up Sasanqua Court and turned left on Fellowship.

black van pull in front of the home directly across from hers. A
black male got out and knocked on the front door. When there was
no answer, the man went around to the rear of the house, like an
electrician or service technician would. He broke through the
small kitchen window, stole a laptop and other minor sundries.
Alarm details - it is known that a motion sensor existed but that part
of the alarm system had not been activated. |
|
|
Note: The neighbor, not aware of the recent area
burglaries, wasn't suspicious of what appeared to be a service-related
house call. The technique in this incident is similar in

turned into Hospital Discount lot. The friend went to turn
around at the school, and they were gone before she could return.
No tag on the car. Two police cars responded to 911 calls.

4-5pm |
Briarcliff Commons
(Henderson Mill Road & Briarcliff Way) |
The homeowners distributed the
following letter to their neighborhood. It is good information
for all. |
Dear Neighbors,
We hope this letter finds you
all doing well.
Please be advised that on
Sunday, February 26, 2006, at approximately 4:50p.m., our home was
burglarized.
As such, we are writing all of you to, at the very
least, put you on notice that, according to police, this is the fourth
(4th) daytime burglary in the immediate area. Further, should any of
you have any information whatsoever that could be helpful please let
one of us know at your earliest convenience.
What
we do know is that probably more than one person was involved. The
burglars determined that no one was home (we were in fact out of town
on vacation). They entered the residence in the rear by throwing a
boulder through a window. They then tripped a motion sensor located in
a basement hallway. Due to the fact that the alarm siren was only
inside the house, apparently no neighbors heard it. The burglars then
attempted to destroy the alarm system but the police had already been
dispatched within Sixty (60) Seconds. The burglars grabbed what they
could and fled out the front door in broad daylight carrying our
possessions. The police arrived between Nine (9) and Twenty (20)
minutes later.
We do not know whether or not
a vehicle was used in the burglary. As such, should any of you have
noticed a vehicle (even a service vehicle) at the front of the
neighborhood or in our driveway, please let us know. The other
robberies nearby did in fact involve vehicles that were loaded with
household items.
The
detective handling our case and the others is Detective Stanfield of
the Dekalb County P.D., Investigations Division. He has a few leads
but needs any additional information he can get. We are in the process
of adding extensive surveillance cameras to the interior and exterior
of our residence to monitor motion in/and around the house. While that
will certainly be helpful in the future, Detective Stanfield has
suggested that each and every homeowner in the neighborhood take a few
seconds extra to pay attention to cars parked around the neighborhood.
If something looks at all suspicious, call 911. He also noted that
often these burglars are pedestrians pretending to be selling
something in order to determine whether anyone is home or not.
Sometimes, they even dress up in service uniforms and drive vehicles
with signs on the side. Detective Stanfield further asserted that
these burglaries will not stop until someone is caught.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give us additional information and
please be safe.
