APD Continues its Crackdown on Gangs and Repeat Offenders- Gang Enforcement Detail Leads to Arrest of Wanted Suspect The Atlanta Police Department continues its mission to reduce crime, and hold gang members and repeat offenders accountable. On 5/18/2022, the APD Gang Unit, along with Zone 1, Zone 4, F.I.T., and A.C.E. conducted an enforcement detail in various zones throughout the city. The detail began in Zone 4 with the immediate arrest of wanted larceny from auto suspect who was on the Larceny from the Auto Unit’s top 5 wanted list. Members of the Zone 4 F.I.T. were patrolling in the area of Pryor and M.L. King Jr. Dr. when they spotted a silver SUV being driven by wanted suspect Victavious Terrell. Units attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, but Terrell abandoned the car and ran off from officers. Officers successfully brought Terrell into custody after a short foot chase. Terrell is a documented gang member. He had outstanding warrants out of four different jurisdictions. Clayton County: Assault Strangulation, Possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, Terroristic Threats. Sandy Springs: Aggravated Assault and Robbery, and Henry County warrants were for traffic offenses. Terrell had two warrants out of the city of Atlanta for Theft by Receiving and Financial Fraud. Inside the vehicle, two firearms were recovered both 9mm Glock handguns. The vehicle was impounded and both guns were turned into property. We would like to thank and commend the APD Gang Unit, Zone 1 and Zone 4 F.I.T. Teams, and A.C.E. for a collaborative effort to arrest another dangerous criminal and keep our City of Atlanta streets safe. Criminals are on notice that if they come to our city to commit a crime, our team will find you, make the arrest, and escort you to jail. #DontDoTheCrimeIfYouCantDoTheTime
