• Burning Flock cameras lands a local suspect behind bars (wsbtv.com) — Flock safety cameras in East Cobb were deliberately set on fire this week, and police say they've now arrested a suspect tied to multiple damaged cameras, including at East Cobb Park. Investigators report that both county-owned and private cameras were hit, but that remaining Flock cameras ultimately helped them track the suspect's vehicle and make a quick arrest.
