As for the black Chrysler sedan, multiple reports came in yesterday from both citizens and the EASP officer of what appears to be the vehicle that was sought. The car that may be associated with Monday night's break-in on Glenwood and Sunday afternoon's break-in on Stokeswood is a black Chrysler 200 with a Florida tag of 020 LBD. The information was passed on to APD and they are investigating. The EASP believes there is a strong chance this vehicle has been used to commit one or more crimes. It is a rental, not known to be stolen, so perhaps it's being used as a way to avoid being stopped by the police. Everyone can draw their own conclusions. If you see the vehicle on your street, please continue to call it in to 911 and the EASP. You should contact Dekalb 360 or the Trolley Patrol as well if you see it in those areas. The sightings thus far were on Oakfield and Edgemore in unincorporated Dekalb County, If you have any additional knowledge or information about this vehicle, please call the EASP at 404-954-1568.
As a follow-up to a pair of BOLOs, APD has informed the EASP that the White Chevy Tahoe has been located and that an arrest was made. Thus far they're keeping any more details quiet, so not much more to say other than hoping that this leads to more arrests. In the recent past, locating of individual vehicles along with an arrest or two hasn't seemed to have much effect on slowing down the volume of burglaries. Our East Lake and Oakhurst neighbors hope that's not the case this time.

Is there any more detail on the Stokeswood break-in? This is the first time I hear about a Sunday break-in.

Here is the recap of the burglary from the 16th, which occurred around 4 pm. As for the crime reports, APD did not provide detailed reports for about two months. They have resumed, but our crime person has not been available to perform the updates. We hope to begin posting them again soon. The crime has diminished quite a bit since we've increased evening patrols, so we do want to get the word out about that. Unfortunately the two home invasions in the past couple weeks give the perception that crime is increasing. To be fair, one home invasion is worse than any number of burglaries, so it's critical to solve this problem ASAP. Comments are closed.
