An update from the carjacking that occurred on Sycamore Drive on Wednesday…

The white 2007 BMW 530I displaying GA tag #GT845J that was taken in the carjacking on July 5th, 2013 at approximately 3:30 am on Sycamore Drive at Grove Street has been recovered by the Clayton County Police Department. No arrests were made at the time of recovery.

Yet another alert by Decatur Police…

On Saturday, July 6, 2013 at approximately 12:30 pm, there was a robbery by snatch in the 100 block of New Street.  A female was working alone in a front office with the front door propped open when the two suspects entered and stated they were lost and begged to use a bathroom.  The victim stated there was no bathroom but one suspect continued to beg and asked if he could cut through the space to go outside and relieve himself.  The victim allowed him to do so and upon his return, that suspect pushed the victim from her chair toward the floor while the other suspect grabbed a laptop and the victim’s purse off the table where she had been working.  Both suspects fled into the parking lot.  The victim observed the suspects enter a silver 2011 Mercedes Benz E350 displaying GA tag #PFH1139 and flee toward East College Avenue.  The Mercedes Benz was previously reported stolen to the DeKalb County Police Department.  No weapons were shown and there was not a threat to use a weapon. The victim was not harmed.  Investigators are working with the Atlanta Police Department on a possible lead involving the victim’s phone being tracked to an area in southwest Atlanta shortly after the robbery.  The suspects are described as follows:

Suspect #1:

• Male

• Mid to late teens
• African-American
• Approximately 5’9 and 140 pounds
• Slender build
• Baggy jeans
• Dark green shirt
• Hair in short “twists”

Suspect #2:

• Male
• Mid to late teens
• African-American
• Approximately 5’9 and 140 pounds
• Slender build
• Baggy Jeans
• Mustard yellow shirt
• Hair in short “twists”

*One suspect had the tips of his twists dyed a lighter color but the victim could not recall specifically which one.

A snippet from a new post over on the Three Taverns website…

…I finally have the answer you and I have been waiting for, Three Tavens beers will be on tap Friday, July 19!

We’ll launch our two flagship beers, Single Intent, a Belgian-style single ale and A Night In Brussels IPA, a Belgian-style American IPA in kegs throughout Decatur and a few neighboring areas. We’ll kick off the evening’s celebration at at the Brick Store Pub, our official launch headquarters and home base. But the Three Taverns core team will venture out to other spots during the evening to raise a glass and celebrate with our friends and neighbors there as well.

Our miniature schnauzer, Oscar, got out this morning. We live on Bridlewood Circle off Sycamore.

We are desperately hoping to find him. He is about 20 pounds, and his hair is shaggier than it is in the attached picture.

He has a green collar and a red neckerchief, but he is not wearing his tags. He is not microchipped.

Please help us find him. REWARD offered.
