Crime & Punishment
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Some incidents reported to the Sandy Springs Police over the past week:
A woman robbed the Wachovia Bank in the 8700 block of Roswell Road. Afterwards, she ran behind the bank where the money exploded and turned everyone red. She ran to the Publix, changed clothes, and then ran over to Hope Road and Dunwoody Place where she tried to catch a bus at the bus stop. Didn’t work out for her. Twenty-two-year old Chanel Monae Gaskin is in Fulton County Jail charged with the robbery of the bank and another Wachovia in DeKalb County earlier this month. Look, if your getaway plan includes a bus stop, you probably need to go back to the drawing board.
Signs you need a new roommate
Gregory called and reported a theft and the following story: He allowed a guy named Craig to move into his apartment. They verbally agreed that Craig would help with the rent. After a short time, the place was a mess and Gregory suspected Craig was on a booze and/or drug bender. Shortly thereafter, he noticed $320 missing from his account and two cameras were missing. Craig’s girlfriend, now in transition to ex-girlfriend, called and said Craig had taken his bank card. She offered to help set him up for arrest. Gregory said he doesn’t know if he wants to prosecute. He wants Craig back in rehab.
Clean out your car so you don’t get cleaned out
Someone stole the victim’s car-charger for her phone while the car was parked for servicing. (When you leave a car for service, take everything you like out of it, especially if it’s in for the night.)
Don’t forget to stash your GPS units, remembering they are VERY popular with our crooked friends right now.
