Zone 4 APD tells NPU-I that Crime Rate has Dropped

The Atlanta Crime Rate has dropped within NPU-I

During the monthly meeting which takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, the Lieutenant (Payton) was happy to report that crime was down the last 4 weeks.

Speaking on the overall rate he said, it was "not too bad. We had 2 robberies, 1 Aggravated assault, and 2 burglaries."  the Lieutenant went on to explain that what they HAVE witnessed is a spike in copper thefts within homes, and apartment buildings.  This occurs mostly to abandoned homes, so homeowners that see anything suspicious in the neighborhood are urged to call 911 immediately.

Fortunately, as you can see in the video, Zone 4 apprehended 1 offender that had both a list of vacant homes on the market and the real estate agent's master key for gaining easy entry.
