Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 6 kids rescued from 'filthy' home, parents arrested (wsbtv.com) — Six children were removed from an unsanitary home near Norcross after Gwinnett County police and child welfare officials found trash, rotting food, nonworking toilets, and insects throughout the house. The parents now face reckless conduct charges, and the children, ages 1 to 8, are in state care while authorities continue investigating the family's living conditions and safety.
• Car theft ring hit 25 vehicles with hacked key tool, warrants say (wsbtv.com) — A series of car thefts in Gwinnett County hit Norcross especially hard, with four vehicles stolen from the same stretch of road over one May weekend. Police say two suspects used a key-programming device to target Infiniti and Nissan Maxima models, and local locksmiths are urging Norcross drivers to add extra protections like steering wheel locks, kill switches, and RFID-blocking boxes.
• Powerball ticket worth $50K sold in Calhoun during Monday drawing (fox5atlanta.com) — A mobile app lottery player in Norcross recently scored a $20,000 Diggi Games win, part of a string of big Georgia Lottery prizes over Labor Day weekend. The story also highlights major Fantasy 5, Powerball, and Mega Millions payouts statewide, plus the growing Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots that Norcross residents can still take a shot at this week.
