Atlanta police were investigating another rash of car break-ins at an upscale Buckhead condominium early Tuesday morning.
Officers on the scene said five cars were entered before 6 a.m. in the parking lot of the three-story building at 3649 Peachtree Road. Windows of some of the cars were smashed. It was not immediately known what was taken from the autos.
Police were searching for suspects but no arrests had been made.
Tuesday's break-ins come exactly two weeks after two suspects were arrested in a series of car break-ins in Midtown.
Stephen Costley, 31, and Cedrick L. Dennis, 18, were arrested July 19 for allegedly breaking into cars parked at the Savannah Midtown apartments in the 200 block of North Avenue, police said.
Police said they found the two men in a van with a number of items, including a game console, a GPS unit, phones and stereo equipment.
Dennis, of Ellenwood, and Costley, of Forest Park, were each charged with two counts of entering auto and two counts of damage to property. Costley also was charged with possession of tools to commit a crime.
Earlier in the morning, bout 15 vehicles were broken into before 2:30 a.m. at the North Highland Steel loft apartments in the 240 block of North Highland Avenue.
Less than a mile away, police got a call around 5 a.m. from the 1000 block of Euclid Avenue, where another 20 cars had been broken into, Atlanta police Capt. Van Hobbs told the AJC.
The July 19 car break-ins came just days after a weekend crime spree in which dozens of cars were broken into at several Buckhead apartment complexes, including some in gated apartment community parking lots.
