I thought you might want check with the police about a car jacking that took place yesterday afternoon on Maxwell St. in Oakhurst. We live a few houses down and did not witness the event, but apparently the woman was approached by a group of men as she exited her car in her own driveway and they stole her car. The police responded quickly and were questioning witnesses when my husband got home from work. It is extremely unnerving that this happened on our street, at someone’s home, and in the afternoon.
I have a note in to Decatur PD. Stay tuned.
My neighbor’s car was stolen from her driveway (Sycamore Ridge) about a week ago. It was during the evening rather than the daytime. It is not as horrible as a car jacking but still unsettling. Has there been an increase in theft recently or are these isolated, random instances?
That angel that jacked those ladies in Oakhurst park last year lived on Maxwell. Is he out and about? Back at home with the grandparents? Sporting more tats?
Not a good week for that sector of Oakhurst…..at all.
Yeah, I live near there, and when are house was broken into about a year and a half ago it turns out the culprit was literally almost across the street on Maxwell. It seems like criminals sometimes work closer to home than seems smart. Time to round up the usual suspects.
