Significant Incidents


Robbery on Park Drive


On December 8th officers were called to the 500 block of Park Drive with a report of a pedestrian robbery. The victim stated that as she was walking on the street she saw three black males on the other side of the street. One crossed over, produced a gun and demanded her purse. She gave him the bag and the three males fled into Piedmont Park. All three males were wearing dark clothing and one had a pink backpack. The suspects were described as young and estimated in their 20’s. The male with the gun was approximately 5’8” with a thin build and short hair. Of the other two who remained on the opposite side of the street, one was described as having a larger build and the other was the one with the pink back pack.

Police canvassed the area and located the victim’s purse just inside Piedmont Park. All items were located except her house keys. A water bottle that had been in the purse and was located a distance away was submitted for latent print analysis.

While this investigation what underway, another robbery was attempted near the park. All units responded including mounted patrol. The three males were spotted near 10th street. Officers Dobler, Sheppard and Williams riding officers Jocker, Oreo and Jack pursued and stopped the males at Walker Terrace. At the time both the pink back pack and a Glock 23 (stolen from Gwinnett County) were located with the suspects. The victim was unable to positively identify the three but a judge issued an arrest warrant.

Attempted Carjacking on Cresthill (Second incident from above narrative)


On December 8th officers responded to an attempted carjacking in the 500 block of Cresthill Avenue. The victim reported that he was outside when a male struck him in the face with a pistol. The suspect demanded his car keys, but then fled without the keys or vehicle. A witness indicated that there were four black males. The one who struck the victim was wearing a blue and white hooded jacket. The victim was transported to Grady hospital for treatment. The suspects were apprehended and arrested by mounted patrol as described above. This is an excellent case of quick reporting to 911 allowing police to connect the dots and arrest suspects quickly.

Burglary on Drewry



On December 4th an officer responded to a report of damage to property in the 1000 block of Drewry Street. Rear doors to the residence were damaged. This home was under construction, and nothing was found to be missing inside.

Robbery on St. Charles


On December 21st an officer responded to two victims who advised they had been walking home from a local bar when they were approached by two black males approximately 18 years of age. Victim one was struck in the back of the hear with what appeared to be a semi-automatic handgun. Victim two was also struck in the back of the head with a similar looking gun, possibly a 9mm. Both victims were instructed to hand over wallets and cell phones. Both handed over their belongings. Suspect one was described as approximately 6’ tall weighing 140 pounds and being very skinny. He was wearing a black t-shirt with jeans. His hairstyle was very short on the sides and dreads on top with highlights. Suspect two was described at a skinning black male about 6’3” with a low haircut. He was wearing all black. Officers attempted to track the telephones, but neither victim could remember the proper password. No cameras were located in the area of this incident.
