Howell Mill store burglarized for third time in less than a year

A northwest Atlanta window treatment store was hit by smash-and-grab burglars early Monday for the third time in less than a year.

A witness reported to Atlanta police dispatchers that eight males entered the Shade Store in the 1200 block of Howell Mill Road about 4:30 a.m. Monday after smashing a window with a brick.

The witness told police the burglars were wearing gray hoodies, and sped away in two vehicles.

Police have not said what was taken in the latest burglary, but thieves took laptop computers and other electronics in a pair of break-ins at the same store last August.
