This week’s report is short and that’s a good thing.
We also have a winner for our “best excuse for our trying to get out of a speeding ticket” contest.

Robbery
Promenade Apartments Peachtree Blvd @ Johnson Ferry Rd             02/19
A woman was robbed as she left her apartment going to work.  She was approached by a man armed with a gun.  The robber made her go back into the apartment and tied her up then he stole her belongings.  After freeing herself and calling the police, she told us that the robber was Hispanic, average size and armed with a black revolver.  (This is scary.  Please look around as you leave your homes and call us if you see anyone that appears suspicious.)

Assault
4763 Buford Hwy                                   02/19
Police responded to the restaurant after receiving a report of an assault.  The investigation revealed that an African-American man had been stabbed by a Hispanic man after the two exchanged words within the restaurant.  The stabbed victim was taken to the hospital.  Police searched the area and found the attacker.  He was arrested.

Burglary
5404 Peachtree Blvd                             02/17
Burglars broke into the Shell station and stole a large quantity of lottery tickets.

Vandalism
1841 Chamblee Tucker                        02/17
Someone threw a rock through a window at a video game store.

3200 Block of Chamblee Dunwoody    02/21
A man reported that someone slashed two of his tires during the night.  He suspects his neighbors because he had called the police earlier to complain about them having a loud party.

5645 Peachtree Road                            02/18
Vandals spray painted the side of the business overnight.

Theft
4825 Buford Hwy                                   02/17
A woman reported that someone entered her car and stole her GPS and a jacket.  There were no signs of forced entry.  It was probably left unlocked.

WalMart                                               02/18
Officers arrested two men after being called to a shoplifting complaint.  The two men tried to flee in a vehicle but were caught by the officers.  The shoplifters were driving a stolen car with a stolen tag.

120 Wiggins Way                                  02/19
A man reported that someone stole his silver 1994 Honda Accord.  Its tag number is BFX0226.

MORON OF THE WEEK
Some people just shouldn’t be criminals.  Case in point; this guy.
A man reported that someone stole his tag.  Nothing unusual about that, we take stolen tag reports all the time.  What is unusual is that the man found his tag on someone else’s car in the same parking lot. He called the police again to report finding his tag.  The responding officer arrested the owner of the other car.
If you steal a tag, don’t park next to the car that you stole it from.  You will be arrested like that guy.

The winner of the “best excuse for getting out of a speeding ticket” contest is Naomi Jabaley. Here is what she sent:
“Officer, I’m 83 years old, I know I was speeding, I have to hurry home from church before I forget where I’m going.”
So Naomi, call me and claim your prize.  My number is 770-986-5005 ext. 225.

Until next week….
