From Officer Alex Cushenan, Chamblee Police Department, a look at some of the calls that Chamblee PD has responded over the past week ...

Suspects are described as two males in their late teens to  early 20s, approximately 5’6"‐5’10", skinny build, one wearing a green undershirt and armed with a silver handgun. Suspects approached a female in the parking lot, pointed the handgun at her and demanded her keys. She screamed, turned and ran. The two males ran the other direction and one jumped into a vehicle that was parked with the engine running. The owner of the vehicle had gone inside to pick up his mail and returned to witness one of the males driving away in his vehicle and picking up the other suspect. The suspect fled the location northbound on Peachtree Blvd.

2/18/13 - Burglary, 4th Street, 1 pm. Officers responded to a suspicious person call. The complainants advised that they were in front of the victims home for a half an hour when an unknown male walked out of the front door. They confronted the male and asked what he was doing inside. The suspect advised that he was taking care of the resident. The complainants knew this was not the case because they have power of attorney and are responsible for the care of the victim, an elderly woman. When the officers arrived they searched the suspect and found jewelry and coins in his back pocket that belonged to the victim. The suspect was arrested and stolen items returned.
