The Police Department is seeking help from the community to identify who is responsible for making entry into multiple vehicles during the early morning hours of November 30, 2015. Just after 1:30 am., Officers were dispatched to the report of an entering auto in progress in the River Ridge Apartment complex which is located off Reinhardt College Parkway.
As units responded, the caller advised a young black male wearing a light in color hooded sweatshirt was in her vehicle. Upon arrival, Officers were told by the victim that she yelled at the individual who fled the scene before Officers arrived. Throughout the day, Officers took additional entering auto reports in the River Ridge complex and in the area of Oakside Drive which is located adjacent to the aforementioned apartments.
Public Information Officer Pacer Cordry stated, “Our Detectives are currently in the field canvassing the areas and speaking to residents in an effort to generate solid leads in these cases.” He added, “We have also increased Officer Patrols in these locations and we are asking for any citizen who has information in regard to these crimes to come forward and contact the department.”
Officer Cordry also advised, “The agency urges citizens to make sure to lock your vehicles and to refrain from leaving any belongings such as currency, wallets, purses, guns, computers, GPS devices, etc in your vehicle during the overnight hours.
Anyone with information in connection with this investigation is asked to contact Criminal Investigation Division Detective Drew Henson at 770-720-7883 or via e-mail at drew.henson@canton-georgia.com.
