2 Apartment Communities Suffer 12 Vehicle Break-Ins

DULUTH, GA -- Duluth Police Officers investigated several vehicles last week that were broken into sometime overnight in two apartment communities.

Police warn that even though this may not have happened to you or where you live, criminals are always searching for valuables inside cars and if you have valuables visible and your doors are locked, you may wake up with broken glass windows around your car in the morning.

Officers responded and investigated 12 reports of car break-ins. The incidents occurred between Sunday night around 7 p.m. and Monday around 8 a.m. All 12 were from two apartment communities within the City of Duluth.

- Discovery at River Bend, 3350 Peachtree Industrial Blvd - 8 reports
- The Atlantic Howell Station, 3655 Peachtree Industrial Blvd - 4 reports

From the reports, the majority of the cars were locked, however, had items/valuables visible from the outside. The criminal then broke the window and stole the items.

These cases are currently being investigated by our Criminal Investigations Division. Police are requesting if you or someone you know has any information regarding the possible suspect(s), please call us at (770) 476-4151 or email: crimetip@duluthpd.com
