I would like to pass on some good news.
We have received a lot of inquiries about the rash of burglaries that have been occurring throughout the city. I have been disseminating information since they have started, and our department has worked tirelessly to solve them.
One of our residents with neighborhood watch gave us a partial license plate of a black sport utility vehicle that was seen in the area. We passed this information on to our surrounding agencies since they were having similar burglaries. The Dekalb County Police Department stopped this suspect vehicle last week and detained the driver and passenger. They immediately informed our detective division and the suspects were questioned.
As of today, these two have been linked to one of the burglaries in the Dunwoody North area. Our detectives are still investigating the multiple crimes to see if they are connected with the others. They are currently detained at the Dekalb County Jail. They are still possibly looking for a third suspect.
I would like to express the importance of Neighborhood Watch and the effectiveness it has shown. This is only one example of the police and citizens working together to make our city safer. I would like to thank all of the coordinators and block captains for donating their time and effort towards this goal. We will continue to share information with all of you and keep you updated on our progress.
Please remain attentive of your surroundings and community. Do not become complacent because these two were captured. I feel this is a huge success, but we still need to watch out for each other.

From the Dunwoody Police
Most of you already heard about an individual that began fondling himself to one of our residents out jogging. If you see anyone matching the description below, please call 911 immediately.
The victim quoted this: At Tilly Mill a bright yellow car (sporty looking) with a white heavy set bald male driver let me cross even though he had a green light. I kept going on Womack and saw the car drive past me. When I approached the entrance to Dunwoody Elementary (the new school) I saw the car in the first driveway. I almost ran all the way across the intersection without stopping because I couldn't hear what he was saying because of my music, but he waved his GPS and I took off an earphone and he said "I can't figure this out" so I took a step towards the car and found him completely exposed and playing with himself.
There was possibly a Florida tag on that suspect's yellow car.
We also had another female that was possibly followed. An old, white, full sized van with pin stripes began following a female in the Meadowcreek Drive area. The van was occupied with two males. There was no contact made, but she explained that the van was acting suspicious by following her down several streets.
Officer Furman included “jogger tips” in his last newsletter. We suggest that you carry a cell phone so you can call 911 immediately in case of circumstances like these.

From the Dunwoody Police
Today’s Burglaries:
Both occurred around 1130
1st- N. Peachtree Rd: had an alarm, we responded within 5 minutes of dispatch receiving the alarm. The perpetrators only had time to get a flat screen TV.
2nd- Riverglenn Dr: no alarm, 3 old laptops, a small flat screen TV and a directTV receiver were taken.
Both had a door kicked in.
A black GMC SUV with partial tag 518 driven by a black male was seen in the area by another resident and is probably the perpetrator from these burglaries.
When I have further information, I will pass it on!! If you see this SUV, call 911, not your NW coordinator or me!! We need to catch this individual(s).
