Here’s a link to the original post from the Oakhurst Park robbery if anyone needs reminding how pissed they were after that happened.
And here’s Wachovia.
Also, Nectar on Clairemont was robbed Saturday night/Sunday morning. The owner told me someone threw a brick through the glass front door and stole the register. Police told them they’re seeing a lot more of these types of robberies lately. Sad situation, but they seem to be handling it well.
This happened at SAVI Market in Inman Park and At Hand in Hand in Highland.
these aren’t robberies, they’re burglaries I think.
You are correct, buggie. Robbery is a crime against person, a hold-up if you will. Burglary is a crime against property, a break-in or smash-and-grab.
