Update on Six Car Break-In at Venetian Pools

Decatur Metro | June 30, 2009 | 4:53 pm

Last week, CSD Snowflake reported that she had heard that six cars parked at the Venetian Pools had been broken into during a swim meet on June 23rd.

I had followed up with DPD, but Community Relations Specialist Juanchella Francis was out of the office last week.  Just heard back today with an update.  Here ’tis…

Yes, six autos were entered at and near Venetian Pools, recently. On June 25, 2009, an arrest was made in that area and our investigators are in the process of determining if this individual is connected to other entering autos at Venetian Pools and surrounding areas. Our patrol officers are also frequently patrolling the area.

Do not hesitate to call 911 or 404-373-6551 should you witness any suspicious activity.

    Decatur Police Arrest Alert

    During the early morning hours of Thursday, June 25, 2009 members of the Decatur Police Department Patrol Division arrested an individual for two incidents of entering auto. While on patrol Sergeant Dana Canipe observed a male walking on Scott Boulevard. Sgt. Canipe stopped and spoke with the male who stated he was enroute to a friend’s home. A few minutes later Sgt. Canipe drove through the area again and could not locate the male. Sgt. Canipe began searching the area to locate the male when she heard a car alarm. She immediately responded to the alarm, but found no evidence of tampering. She continued to search the area and located two vehicles with broken windows. Sgt. Canipe alerted other officers and gave a description of the male she had spoken with a short time earlier. Officer Amy Hall located the individual and property from the entering autos were located in close proximity to the male. The male was arrested and charged with two counts of Entering Auto and Possession of tools for the commission of a crime. Investigation into the male’s possible involvement in recent similar crimes is continuing.
