Here are the top stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

1. Attention all knitters and crocheters, there is a new yarn store in Milton! Unwind Knit Studio is located at 13077 Highway 9, Suite 630, in the Target Shopping Center along Highway 9. The store carries many types of high quality yarn, needles, patterns and much more. They also offer classes. (City of Milton)
2. The Milton Police Department is reminding citizens to report suspicious activity as quickly as possible. This will aid them in solving crimes and arresting criminals. If you notice something suspicious, please call 911 or the non-emergency dispatch number at 678-297-6300 to have an officer dispatched to investigate immediately. It's a good idea to save the non-emergency number in your phone. (Milton Police Department via Facebook)
