Recent Crimes: Husband's Porn Leads to a Fight and the Emergency Room

There were 19 reported thefts from vehicles from July 21-26. Three occurred at Perimeter Pointe Shopping Center. Several others were at businesses or apartments along Roswell Road. Thefts from vehicles also took place on Johnson Ferry Road, Hammond Drive, Peachtree Dunwoody Road and other locations. 

Police have urged citizens to remove all items from their parked vehicles. : "When it comes to ease of the crime, it literally takes seconds to break a side window, reach in and steal the stuff out of your car. In many cases, a car alarm does not help because the door is never opened, which needs to happen in order for the alarm to be activated."
