Baby Delivered, Burglar Caught by Brookhaven PD

On Monday night, Brookhaven police brought a new baby into the world and caught a bad guy ... all within the span of about 30 minutes.

According to the department’s Facebook page, two officers on Bravo shift responded to a call of a woman in labor around 9:45 pm. Officer Adams and Lt. Vanaman arrived ahead of the ambulance, and both officers assisted in a home delivery,

Just minutes later, around 10 pm, both officers then responded with several others to a burglary in progress.

“Thanks to two 911 callers with great descriptions, a perimeter was quickly established,” the department said. “Officers quickly located the offender in the woods and a foot chase ensued. But two blocks and a fence couldn’t stop Officer DiCicco, who took the burglar into custody less than 10 minutes after the call was received.”

The suspected burglar is also by Fulton County for a similar crime.

And mother and baby are doing just fine, by the way.
