http://hbcualumniatlanta.org/?attachment_id=1502ARMED ROBBERY: Early Sunday morning two women were robbed of their purses at Woodward and Cherokee. They were approached by 3 black males who were driving a dark green Ford Taurus. In SE Atlanta there were several other armed robberies that night and early morning. At another incident it was reported that a dark Taurus was the get away car.
AUTO THEFT: Sometime overnight a BMW was stolen, parked in front of a house on Rosalia. There is a report of police activity on Hansell at 3:30 AM but we have no details to determine if these are related. Do not assume that your car alarm will protect you against larceny or theft. It's best to research your make and model for the best deterrence.
LT Iosty reports that APD zone 3 officers recovered this vehicle today. It was located in an alleyway off South Ave near the track at Connally Street. Three perps were arrested, 2 juveniles. They were in the process of stripping it but only one tire had been removed. A NEARBY NEIGHBOR NOTICED THE ACTIVITY AND CALLED 911.
BURGALRY AND LARCENY: One report of a burglary on Woodward Ave, 300 block, no details yet. Also on 300 block of Woodward, 3 bikes were stolen from the front porch of a home. The bikes were chained on the porch. There are several reports of bike thefts. Please be careful with bikes out in public view. Our officers advise keeping them in the house or in a locked storage building.

There have been several reports. One this morning for the 300 block of Kendrick. On Sunday night a GPSP officer responded to a suspicious person call on Ormond and Hill. He and the beat officer were unable to locate that person. There was a smashed car window at the Georgia Hill community center Sunday night at about 10. No suspects there either.
Cherokee and Woodward have also had some daytime vehicle larcenies. Please call 911 if you see anyone peeking into windows. Some of these are occurring in mid-afternoon on Saturday and Sunday so there have to be some witnesses at this busy time of day.
