Car Break-Ins On The Rise Say South Fulton Neighbors

ATLANTA, GA — A South Fulton man tells WSB-TV that a group of people who were breaking into cars shot at him on Tuesday when he went outside. Neighbors say the issue has been a growing problem.

As the man was just walking to his vehicle near midnight, four thieves ran toward him right before putting a gun to his back. A shot was fired.

“I was frantic because I didn’t know if he was actually shot or not,” said neighbor Chris Nelson, who shared with the station that his car window was broken by the thieves.

Another neighbor experienced something similar in August.

South Fulton police said they are investigating the cases and there haven't been any arrests yet.
