Decatur Police Report S. Candler Burglary Attempt

Sgt. Jennifer Ross of the Decatur police sent out this information Monday as a follow-up to a community alert about a recent rash of break-ins in which eight homes were burglarized in three weeks.

There was an additional burglary attempt today, June 24th at approximately 10:30 am in the 500 block of South Candler Street that appears to be related to the recent series of burglaries in the Winnona Park/South Candler Street/Oakhurst area.

A resident was woken when a brick and a large rock were thrown through the glass in the back door.  The resident yelled at the suspects who fled the home and got into a white sedan, possibly a Honda or Nissan, that was last seen south on South Candler Street toward Memorial Drive. 

The suspects were described as four black males in their late teens.  The home had an alarm that was not armed and a small dog.
