Ladies and Gentlemen,

                We still have reports of entering autos in the city.  They are as follows:  4600 Ashford Dunwoody Rd., 1161 Hammond Drive, 4560 Olde Perimeter Way, Huntington Hall Court, Village Mill Road and 235 Perimeter Ctr Pkwy.  These have occurred during the past week at all hours of the day.  The windows are smashed out, or there are pry marks under the door handle.  Laptops, GPS’s and IPODS are the usual items taken. 

 

We had an attempted burglary on Kingsglen Court on the 28^th around 2230 hours.  Two suspects opened an unlocked door to the residence and the home owner scared them away.  The first suspect was a B/M, 508-600, average build wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.  The second suspect was possibly a B/M, 506-508, average build wearing a black sweatshirt. 

 

Another burglary occurred between the 23^rd-29^th on Redcliff Court.  The front door window was smashed out.  Various items were taken.

 

If you see anything  suspicious, please call 911 immediately.

 

I received a lot of residence checks before and during the holidays.  We can post date these requests in the computer, so please send them early enough so they can be entered.  We received some when we were on vacation.  E-mail William.furman@dunwoodyga.gov or mike.carlson@dunwoodyga.gov and give the following:  Name, Address, Phone, Emergency Contact Phone, dates you will be gone, authorized people that can be at your house, cars at the house, lights on timers, alarm system and company  and any other pertinent information that you want us to know.   

 

As this year comes to a close, I want to thank everyone for their continued support of the Dunwoody Police.  Together we can accomplish our mission of getting crime out of this city!  I hope everyone had a great holiday and I wish all of you a Happy New Year!  Be safe!

Quick Update (DPD)

Good Evening Everyone,

                The other day we had a 13 year old walking to his bus stop on Vermack Road near Vermack Ridge.  He noticed a small red vehicle drive by, turn around and stop.  The driver asked the juvenile if he was skipping school and/or if he needed a ride.  After refusing twice, the driver left the scene. 

 

The driver was described as a heavy set white male with short blonde hair.  He was approximately 16-18 years old with bad acne.  If you see anyone matching this description, please notify the Dunwoody Police. 

 

The detectives are looking into this isolated incident and do not know what the driver’s intent was. 

 

Please have a safe weekend and drive safe in this bad weather.  If you are leaving town for the holidays, please let us know so we can add you on our zone patrol list.

Update from the Dunwoody Police Department

Good Evening Everyone,

                I received a forwarded e-mail about some damage to property inside The Branches.  There have been some individual(s) damaging holiday decorations at several locations.  They are destroying lights, inflatable’s and several mailboxes throughout the neighborhood.  Please report this immediately if you are a victim.  There was a similar incident that occurred a couple weeks ago that was not far from the Branches.  A neighbor saw two individuals damaging some decorations.  The neighbor called the police and we were able to locate and identify them.  I am not sure if these are related since these incidents were not reported. 

 

We had numerous entering autos last week.  Entry was made by smashing out the back and side windows.  The locations were as follows:  E. Madison Drive, Adams Road, Cherring Drive, Old Village Lane, The Marriott(Peachtree Center Pkwy), The Dunwoody Nature Center and the Exxon station(Ashford Dunwoody/Perimeter Center East).  Please take all valuables out of your car and lock it!  These thefts were crimes of opportunity.  The suspect saw something he/she wanted and took it. 

 

Please keep an eye out for your neighbors!  If you see something suspicious, please call 911! 

 

I have posted the Citizens Police Academy application on our website if anyone is interested. 

 

I still have some Neighborhood Watch signs if your area needs an extra one!    

 

Have a safe week!

Updates from the Dunwoody Police Department

Hello everyone,

  I wanted to let you know of an incident that occurred yesterday morning. Four vehicles were broken into in the parking lot area of Dunwoody Baptist Church between 9:15 and 9:45am. The possible suspect was driving a dark colored, late model Toyota Camry with Florida tags. All of the victims had their purses, or wallets from their purses, stolen. All of the purses were visible in either the front seat or back seat of the victim’s cars.

  Please remember to take all of your valuables with you when you exit your car, or lock them in the trunk. Please do not leave valuables in the passenger area in view of passing people. Remember, don’t be an easy target.

 

Thanks,
