Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have been out of town for the past two weeks, so I will try to get you up to speed with what is going on around the city.
I am excited to announce that we will be holding the first Citizen’s Police Academy tonight. I received an excellent response from everyone, unfortunately I cannot have too many people in the class. I will see how this first class goes, and then see if I can accept more people. It becomes too hard to manage because of space, time and certain travels that we must do. I have already contacted the individuals that will be in this class, if I did not call you, you are on the waiting list for the next class. Dates are TBD!!
First, I want to tell you about a home invasion that occurred last night on Oxford Chase Way around 2245 hours. I want to inform you that this was not random. They were looking for someone in particular that did not live there anymore. Detectives and our crime scene technician were called out to the scene to collect evidence. The suspects were described as follows: Two black males with thin builds. One was approximately 6’01” and the other was approximately 6’02”. One had a handgun and they were dressed all in black. If you noticed these suspects or a vehicle that was out of place in that area, please let me know.
Officers responded to a burglary yesterday at 2357 Dunwoody Crossing. They were given a description of the suspect vehicle while they were responding. Officers spotted the vehicle, made the traffic stop, and arrested both suspects. Someone was home when these individuals kicked in the door. Once inside, they saw the resident and fled the scene. The suspects knocked first, but no one answered. If someone is knocking on your door, let them know you are home. You do not have to open the door!! If they appear suspicious, call 911! Good job to our officers for their attentiveness!
Last Friday we had a Strong Armed Robbery attempt at the Bank of America, 4545 Chamblee Dunwoody Road. A black male approached a female from behind and tried to snatch an envelope out of her hand. The attempt failed and the suspect ran off. He was approximately 5’06-5’07” with a medium build. He was wearing blue jeans, a black leather jacket, a brown skull cap and work boots. He was last seen getting into a dark colored GMC Yukon. If you are making a deposit, do not walk with the envelope out. Conceal it the best you can. Pay attention to your surroundings and make sure no one is following you.
The entering autos are continuing. We have had several over the past couple weeks. The locations are as follows: (2) at 3300 Asbury Square, 350 Perimeter Center North, (3) at 4685 Chamblee Dunwoody Road(unlocked car), 1445 Mt. Vernon Road, North Shallowford Road, Pernoshal Court, Dunwoody Park and Pineridge Circle. The majority of these entering autos were unlocked. Lock your cars and take in your valuables.
Be safe!!
