SafetySmart Lilburn Weighs In on Recent Burglaries

In the last few weeks, several subdivisions have experienced burglaries: two that were notable involved neighbors spotting a stranger in the area or unusual activity, which they then reported to police. 

In one case, Capt. Mike Johnson reported that, following the break-in, police canvassing the area learned from neighbors that a group of teenagers was seen walking along the street.  Although unable to locate the group, the officers found a lone teenage boy in his own yard. 

He reported that he was not in school due to being under house arrest. When questioned why, he stated that he was charged with burglary. The officers continued, asking where he had been for the last few hours and the teen reported having been at home.
