On April 13, 2017, at approximately 12:53 AM, Officers
responded to Gabby’s Wireless (301 Marietta Road, Canton GA) in reference to a
business alarm call. Officers arrived and observed a side window to the closed
business had been broken into.
Due to the swift response, Officers were able to observe
fresh footprints in the grass leading from the broken window to a wooded area
behind the facility. This led them to
swiftly set up a perimeter to prevent any possible suspect(s) from leaving the
area. A Roswell Police K-9 was called
and assisted in a search for person(s) responsible for the crime.
As a result of the search and perimeter containment, a juvenile
suspect (15 yrs. old from Canton) was located by the K-9 a short distance from
the business and taken into custody. All
of the stolen merchandise was located in an area near where the suspect was
apprehended.
Chief Mark J. Mitchell stated, "Our Officer's very
quick response, action and teamwork was vital to bringing this crime to a safe
and successful resolution. We are
dedicated to not only engaging with those we serve but also proactively
suppressing this type of activity in our great Community." He added,
"We would like to thank the Roswell Police Department and their K-9
Officer for their support and assistance in this incident."
