Canton Detectives Investigate Entering Auto Incidents

After daybreak on Sunday, August 19, 2018, Officers responded to multiple reports of vehicles being entered in both the Summer Walk and Park Village subdivisions off Fate Conn Rd. At this time, twenty-five (25) Entering Auto reports have been documented between both neighborhoods. From what Officers and Detectives can determine, all vehicles entered were unlocked at the time of the crimes.

Additionally, homeowners were able to turn over several surveillance videos which, depict four (4) late teen or early 20’s black males walking through the communities between 1:30 – 5:00 am, pulling on vehicle door handles and entering cars they found unlocked. The suspects did not take items out of many of the vehicles but did manage to steal three (3) handguns, an undetermined amount of cash and other personal belongings.

The department has increased patrols in this area, especially during the overnight hours and urges citizens to partner with them to help enforcement efforts by locking their vehicles and removing any personal belongings to include (handguns, laptops, wallets, purses), etc. Furthermore, the agency will be conducting a “Roving Roll Call” program at the Summer Walk Subdivision Club House this Wednesday, August 22, 2018, at 5:30 pm. Please follow the department’s Facebook Page for further details.

Detectives are actively working these cases and request anyone with information about the crimes to call 911 or the department at 770-720-4883.
