Snowpacolypse II aka “Wintry Mix” Headed For Atlanta This Week

Decatur Metro | February 9, 2014

Yeah, so in case you’ve been offline most of the weekend, this might come as a bit of a surprise to you.

Apparently “Winter Storm Pax” is headed across the South over the next few days and we should expect some icy conditions, especially late Tuesday into Wednesday.  But Atlanta is right on the cusp of ice and rain on Tuesday – as seen above – so it certainly promises to be another interesting week for us all.

Decatur Police Alert: Burglary on Second Avenue Saturday

Decatur Metro | February 9, 2014

From Decatur PD Sgt. Jennifer Ross…

Decatur Police are investigating a burglary that occurred Saturday, 2-8-14 between 2:00 – 4:45 pm in the 600 block of Second Avenue.  It appeared the suspects used a vehicle to force a locked rear gate open and the rear door to the residence was then forced open.  Numerous items were stolen throughout the house.  A neighbor reported seeing a beige SUV, believed to be a Ford Explorer, occupied by two black males leaving the alley behind the victim’s residence at approximately 2:30 pm.  The driver of the beige SUV was described as having a light complexion and wearing a red baseball cap.

There were additional incidents reported nearby in Atlanta that may be related.  APD officers in zone 6 responded to a burglary on Tupelo Street that occurred between 1:00 – 2:30 pm.  Based on the size of a television stolen, it is likely a SUV or truck was used.  APD then responded to a suspicious vehicle backed into a driveway in the 100 block of Second Avenue shortly after 3:00 pm.  The vehicle was described as a white SUV, possibly a Suburban or Tahoe, occupied by 3-4 black males.

Please watch out for your neighbors and call police immediately if you see unknown persons or vehicles on your neighbor’s property.
