August: Burglary on Sentinel Post Road before Noon. A window was broken out of the sunroom on the side of the house. The perpetrator then broke out a window in a French door to gain entry to the house. The homeowner arrived home to find the truck described above in the driveway with the motor running. After turning off the alarm, the homeowner was confronted by a black male who ran from the scene and sped away. The homeowner gave chase but the suspect got away.

Chattahoochee river park off of Whitewater Creek Road: A woman walking her dog along the river around 8:30AM encountered a black male rummaging through her car when she returned to the parking lot. She turned the dog loose and the perpetrator ran to his vehicle and sped away. The vehicle is described as a black pickup truck with a silver toolbox in the back. There is a yellow scrape mark on the passenger side. This is the second time the woman has encountered this man in the parking area. City of Atlanta police have made the park rangers aware of these incidents.

Update: According to the Mt. Paran Security Patrol, during the last week of August the Roswell police captured the suspect described in the burglaries above while he was burglarizing another house. They also recovered the stolen Toyota truck. Atlanta police detectives are working with Roswell police and expect to clear the burglaries that occurred in this area.
