Holiday crime suppression yields results

The Marietta Police officers engaged in holiday crime prevention patrols recently arrested four alleged thieves.

On Thursday morning, officers checked on a suspicious vehicle that witnesses saw circling the Taco Bell at 1180 Powder Springs Road. The driver, Deandre Antonio Conway, 20, ran away and tossed a handgun when he saw police. Conway was charged with attempted armed robbery, obstruction and driving a stolen vehicle.

Since Dec. 19, police also arrested a man breaking into cars on Washington Avenue and two suspects committing a robbery on Franklin Road.
