Update from the DPD

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,

Updates from the Dunwoody Police Department

Good Evening,
We had numerous car break-ins last night in the Dunwoody North and Kingsley area. I do not have a total amount, but one is too many. Our officers have been taking reports, and requesting our Crime Scene Technician when there is evidence to collect. There were some GPS’s taken and other miscellaneous items. The windows were broken out of most of them, and others had their doors unlocked. Please remove all items and lock your doors. Please call 911 if you see anything suspicious!!! Our night watch officers will be patrolling the area!
We had some reports in the area of the mall and Wal-Mart about windows being shot out with a BB gun. We caught the individual on Tuesday!
Car break-ins are still occurring in the mall area. We have stepped up patrol and are working with the mall security to catch this individual(s).
Last week an officer was responding to a burglary call at the Parkwood Village apartments. The suspect was spotted and arrested after a brief foot pursuit!
Please have a safe holiday next week. I will be out of the office, so please contact Officer Furman if you need something.

Perimeter Mall Strong Arm Theft (from DPD)

Hello everyone,

  We wanted to notify everyone of a strong arm theft that occurred on Monday night at Perimeter Mall. A customer had just purchased a laptop from the Apple store and was leaving the mall. An unidentified, young black male, approached the customer from behind and grabbed their arm, causing them to drop the laptop. A brief struggle ensued and the black male picked up the laptop and fled the scene on foot. Video surveillance showed that the suspect was possibly in the store at the same time as the customer and followed them outside. This occurred at approximately 8:30pm near Maggiano’s.

  We want to remind everyone to be diligent in their awareness. Suspects such as these target victims that they feel are not aware they are there. Remember to always make eye contact with those people around  you and look over your shoulder every once in awhile to check behind you. We are entering the holiday season and crimes such as this will increase. If you feel you are being followed, contact one of the security officers to escort you. As always, if you see a suspicious person or vehicle, don’t hesitate to call 911 and report it.

 

Thank you,

Update from the Dunwoody Police

Good Afternoon,

                I sent out an e-mail yesterday with a picture of a suspect.  He committed a Robbery at the Bank of America on Jett Ferry at noon.  Detectives are working on the case and I will update you if we have any leads.  Please pay attention to your surroundings when you are at the bank.  This man was very calm while committing this crime.  There was no way to tell if he was armed, nor did he state he had a gun.  Never confront these individuals if you know what’s going on.  Comply with their orders and just try to be a good witness(clothing description, voice, tattoos, vehicle description..etc..). 

 

We have had some concerns with Craigslist.  Please be aware of scams if you are selling and/or purchasing.  If you go to meet someone to finalize the deal, go with another person and meet in a public place. 

 

Car break-ins are continuing.  We have had several occur throughout Dunwoody with the same method of operation.  Windows were smashed out in the following areas:  Azalea Garden Drive, Perimeter Center West, Peeler Road and a car was stolen from Summerford Drive.  Laptops and GPS units were taken in each of those.  Continue the target hardening(hide or remove expensive items). 

 

We had a burglary occur on Charleston Place last week during the day.  The suspect(s) entered through an open window and took a T.V. and a computer.  Make sure all openings are locked and your alarms are set(if your house is equipped with one). 

 

Have a safe weekend and enjoy the weather!

Incident: Bank Robbery Location: Bank of America, 2454 Jett Ferry Road Date: 111209

The Dunwoody Police are investigating a bank robbery that occurred at the Bank of America located at 2454 Jett Ferry Road.

 

At approximately 1158 hours, a white male approached the counter and handed over a note demanding cash. The suspect was able to leave the bank with an undisclosed amount of currency. He was last seen running south through the parking lot.

 

The suspect is described as a white male in his late 20’s to early 30’s. He was wearing a light blue Nike baseball hat, sunglasses and a green plaid shirt. He was also wearing light colored blue jeans or sweat pants.

 

If you can identify this suspect or have any information in this case, please contact Detective Curtis Clifton at (678)382-6912.

 

From the Dunwody Police Department

Ladies and Gentlemen,

                I hope everyone had a nice weekend.  We have had some incidents going on around the city.  We are continuing to have car break-ins.  Last week, several cars were broken into on Chateau Drive and Rochelle Court.  The suspect was taking items from "unlocked" cars.  Please continue the "target hardening" that we are suggesting.  Take all valuables out of the cars and lock them!  We also had a witness who saw the suspect and did not call the police.  The only description is a man wearing a baseball cap and a jacket.

 

Morning watch responded to approximately 12 car break-ins on the 17^th.  They were occurring around the Kellogg Springs Drive area.  The suspect was caught and charged that same night!  Good Job Morning Watch!

 

If you saw the news last week, I was talking about some pick-pocketing that occurred over at the mall.  Please be sure to watch all valuables at all times.  These suspects were very good and were able to make some transactions using their credit cards.  They were targeting females that had purses hung on the backs of their chairs.  http://www.dunwoodyga.gov/Government/departments/Dunwoody-Police-Department/Police-Press-Releases.aspx

 

We had a burglary that occurred on Tyndall Court on the 16^th.  It occurred between the hours of 0815 and 1450.  The suspect made entry by prying open a side door.  Evidence was collected and submitted at the PD.  Please remember to record your serial numbers on all valuables.  I received several e-mails on this burglary over the weekend.  This was a "Burglary" not a "Robbery".   

 

Robbery- With intent to commit a theft, a person will take the property of another by use of force, by intimidation or sudden snatching. 

Burglary- A burglary is committed when one enters the dwelling of another with the intent to commit a felony or theft therein. 

 

Dekalb County had an Armed Robbery, (see definition above) at the Texaco on Ashford Dunwoody and Johnson Ferry Road.  The suspect came through our jurisdiction and was spotted by one of our daywatch officers.  The officer followed the suspect until back up and Dekalb County officers could arrive.  The suspect was taken into custody without incident.  Good Job Daywatch! 

 

I am currently in training for the next several weeks for our Records Management System.  Officer Furman and I started last week and will begin teaching the rest of the department.  We will be and have been busy!  Thanks to the neighborhood watch coordinators for giving us updates and suspect descriptions.  These are forwarded to detectives for follow up!  I hope everyone has a good week!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

                Good morning and I hope everyone is having a good week.  If you have been watching the news, you see that we have been busy.  You all know that Halloween is this Saturday, so I have attached Officer Furman's October newsletter with some Halloween safety tips(you should already have received this).  Please have a safe and fun weekend. 

 

We had some incidents occur during this past week.  There was a burglary on Winters Chapel Road.  Entry was made around noon by prying open the front door.  Several items were taken from the residence.

 

Another Burglary occurred at Dunwoody Crossing.  He was caught by dayshift and was still in possession of the items taken.  An attentive neighbor called police when the incident was taking place.  They were able to possibly identify the suspect.  Once again, the police and community working together.  Excellent Job!

 

There were two entering autos at 400 Perimeter Center Place.  The windows were smashed out and the usual items were taken(GPS & an IPOD). 

 

Some of you may know that Chief Billy Grogan is the state director for the Special Olympics.  Several officers, including the Chief and I, will be participating in the Polar Plunge this February 20^th at the Lake Lanier Islands and Resorts.  This is in support of the Special Olympics in 2010.  If you are interested in participating or donating, I have attached a link for you to review.

From a neighboring Neighborhood Watch: Neighbor Alert

Sent: Thu, Oct 15, 2009 9:19 am
Subject: Chateau Woods Neighbor Alert WAKE UP CALL Coordinator involved too.

All of  these occurred  on Tuesday Oct. 13^th

White male about 6'2 ,  medium to large build,  brown straight hair,   "creeping looking" guy per a young girl and some neighbors saw him in their carport as well

Some kids feel he lives in Dunwoody, as they have seen him around other places… who knows

He was also seen on Sat. walking a dog so he might have been casing the area.

The police are working with these folks.

 

 

CRIME ALERT

 

Dear Neighbors:

 

Last night we one or more perpetrators went through the neighborhood entering unlocked cars stealing valuables or money.  These are crimes of opportunity and are easy pickings for the criminals:

 

The following Chateau Woods residences are the ones that were hit:

 

1585 Chateau Drive – Stolen Halloween decorations (within the last several nights).

1744 Chateau Drive – Stolen golf clubs and sun glasses.

1559 Rochelle Court – Stolen bicycle and money.

1562 Rochelle Court – Stolen money.

 

Our neighbor saw a man wearing a baseball hat and jacket enter our carport and look through one of our vehicles at 12:45 am.  Even though the lights went on, the man acted very nonchalantly and did not seem rushed.  He rode away on our son's bicycle.  Because he acted coolly, our neighbors figured it was someone related to our family.

 

Fortunately, the items taken were of relatively little value.  But this is a reminder to us all that if you see something or someone that looks suspicious or out of place please call 911 first and let the Dunwoody Police Department check it out.  With a sluggish economy and the holidays coming up crime always seems to pick up.  Please be alert, keep your doors locked, and valuables out of sight.

From a nearby neighborhood: Burglary Alert - 1701 Tyndall Court

Subject: Burglary Alert -  Tyndall Court
Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:58:14 -0400

Just wanted to alert everyone that our house was broken into Friday 10/16 sometime between 8:00 am and 2:45 pm.  We have been in touch with many of our cul-de-sac neighbors but just in case someone was walking or driving by and saw anything or anyone out of the norm by our house we would like to hear about it. 

 

This was certainly a wake up call for us to no longer be complacent about the alarm, computers in site by windows, keeping jewelry in a safe bolted to the wall or floor, and keeping a list of registration numbers for much of the items mentioned later.  These robbers were only interested in flat screen TVs not regular one.  Wiis, Nintendo DS, Wii Guitars and all the games, music and video CDs.  Easy cash to get from a Game Stop store.  Took a safe that was not bolted, laptops, cameras and video recorders.  Pretty much the usual stuff one would expect. 

 

As neighbors I would encourage everyone to be alert to suspicious activity.  If anyone knows emails for the neighbors in Vernon Springs you may wish to pass the word around.  I for one love nosey neighbors. :)

 

From a neighboring community Neighborhood Watch: Tree removal solicitors

IF you see anyone in Dunwoody asking for business  no matter WHO they are…tree men, roofers, siding, painters etc….   according to Sgt. Carlson , "they are soliciting for profit.  It's against our ordinance."  They must have the COD ID badge.   Remember girl scouts and boy scouts …that's the simple way to remember who is ok… 

 

PLEASE keep asking folks to call 911 and let me know when they do, so I can get it out to all of you. This morning a   coordinator sent this email to her folks and asked me to share it with all of you to do the same.

 

 The neighbor (now) knows to call 911 if this happens again.  If you have any ideas of how you are going to get this thru to your neighbors that might be "different" "creative"… let me know.  I have no more ideas up my sleeve. If they don't call they are just not helping to keep us safe.

 

 

Hi Neighbors,

 

I received some information from a concerned Cambridge resident regarding a company that has been coming door to door soliciting tree removal service.  Although this is not unusual, what was concerning is that after receiving a second opinion the resident learned that almost all of the information this company/the saleman shared was false.  Further, not only was it false but would have caused irreprable and significant damage to her property.  This particular resident was told that not only her trees along the creek would fall, but that her pines in the front had pine beetles and would fall.  They quoted ridiculously high prices with discounts if the work was done within the next 24 hours.  Even after the discount, the price was still very high.  The resident spoke with her licensed arborist and learned that there were no pine beetles and the trees were fine and would be ok for another couple of years.   

 

Some folks come around like ambulance chasers and they say all the right things and have you fearing that because of all of the rain the trees around your home are at risk of falling if the wind blows.  Please know that, and more importantly for those of you are backed up against the creek, the root system of your trees maybe holding your property together.  Although there may be a risk of the tree itself, you may not want to remove the stump.  Thereto, if large portions of the trees are dropped onto areas that are still water soaked it could cause portions of the property to collapse.  

 

If you suspect that the information you are being given is false, call the property county or city authorities to verify the information  Further, and according to Dunwoody PD, it is illegal to solicit for profit within the city limits.  They need to display an identification card that Dunwoody PD issues.  If they are soliciting and do not have an I.D. card displayed, please CALL 911***  NOT THE DUNWOODY POLICE* they will respond via the 911 operator*

 

If you do speak with someone and have concernes, please please please always get second and third opinions before removing any trees or installing retainer walls.  

 

Share this information with your neighbors.  Despite our best efforts, not everyone on Cambridge is part of the neighborhood watch.  Please keep an eye out for your neighbors, especially those who may easily fall prey to these solicitors. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.  If you do have to alert the authorities, drop me a line to let me know what's going on so we have some good communication going on to assist eachother.

 

This is a test post

This is a test post to the DCFW Neighborhood Watch Latest News Page. If you are seeing this, then it worked.

From a neighbor in an adjoining neighborhood

I was at the Chinese restaurant dining w/ 2 other family members [ YSE on DV&nb sp;Parkway] last nite when we noticed 2 suspicious tall black males walk in around 7:30 PM & go to the managers office when she [the manager] was back in the kitchen.

We alerted the staff to the incident & surprised a robbery/theft in progress. The b/m's immediately ran out the door w/ unknown valuables & CC but we got a description of their vehicle & called 911 ASAP. They were driving a possibly stolen late model large SUV dark red w/ drive out dealer tags & saw them head west on Mt Vernon.

The Dunwoody police came w/ in 2-3 minutes & interviewed all of us. I do not know if these guys have been caught or not. Please do not publish my name but felt this was important for the neighbors to know. Heads up as we will not be safe until these creeps are out of our area & sitting in jail. Kudos to the DPB & their quick professional response!!

From the Dunwoody Police

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).
