Editor's note: the following incidents were taken from the Sandy Springs Police Department's Weekly Wrap Up compiled by Capt. Steve Rose. This week's wrap up contains some of the incidents that occurred May 5-9:

Burglary

• 500 block of Granite Place, 30350, 5/5: The caller said he was arrested for threatening his roommate, (he said he had a machete to make him move out faster) and during that time, someone came into his residence and took his TV, two laptops, clothes, cologne, and sunglasses. The roommate made the short list of suspects.
• 200 block of E. Belle Isle, 30342, 5/7: The caller said someone attempted to kick his apartment door open. The suspect failed to breach the door. A second suspect also unsuccessfully tried to get in. The victim had a Ring doorbell that captured the incident on video. Suspect one is about 5’9”, thin, and suspect two is taller, about 6’3”, also thin. Both wore Adidas sweatpants with black and white stripes and both had their faces covered. Nothing was taken.

Thefts

• 5920 Roswell Road, 30328, 5/5 (Experimac): The store employee said a man described as black male, came in the store to look around. The clerk said the man took two laptops and then fled on foot towards the back of Whole Foods.

• 6100 block of Peachtree Dunwoody Road, 30328, 5/6: The caller said she and a male friend named Andrew were staying at the Hilton Hotel. She left the room briefly to shower. When she returned, Andrew was gone as were her car keys, the car that goes with the keys, debit and credit cards, $800 in cash and a Walther P22 pistol.
• 5930 Roswell Road 30328 5/6 (Whole Foods): The caller said while getting soup at the soup bar, she placed two packages down, but forgot to take them with her when she left. Fifteen minutes later, she returned to discover they were gone. Video images showed a white male wearing a black ball cap, gray shirt, black shorts and gray shoes removing both bags. The male paid for his items, and then he and a female sat at one of the tables, going through the bags. The officer requested and retrieved the Visa payment information the suspect used to pay for his items and the theft is under investigation.
• 300 Hilderbrand Drive, 30328, 5/7 (Napa Auto Parts): Someone cut a muffler and catalytic converter from a customer’s car.

• 1100 block of Hammond Drive, 30328, 5/7
• 6400 Peachtree Dunwoody Road, 30328, 5/8

The wiring process was unsuccessful so he mailed a check for that amount to 22nd Street in Mineral Wells, Texas. Soon after, he discovered the email was fraudulent. He was able to put a stop payment on the check before it could be processed. Capt. Steve Rose: If this sounds familiar, you will remember we posted a similar scenario to another company representative who emailed a large amount of cash to the president of the company only to find out the mail was hacked.
• 365 Northridge Road, 30350, 5/9: An employee of a financial group received an email from her company CFO asking for 20 $100 iTunes cards for clients. She purchased the cards and attempted to photograph the card numbers to send on the email but it failed to send. She realized the email was not the same. The crook did not get the card numbers but the cards cannot be returned because the seals were peeled off. Capt. Rose: That said, I guess the first 20 new customers with this financial company will receive a free iTunes card.

Assault

• 8610 Roswell Road, 30350, 5/6: A 40-year-old Marietta woman told cops that she was assaulted by three other women outside Tony’s Sports Bar at around 3 a.m. She identified one as a server at another local bar but did not know her name. She also claims her Rolex was taken sometime overnight (alcohol was involved). The officer spoke to a man who identified himself as the caller’s boyfriend. According to him, the fight began as he left Tony’s with his girlfriend. She told him to, “Stop talking to those b------!”

• On May 5 and the early-morning hours of May 6, DUI arrests were reported on I-285, Northside Drive,
  Roswell and Belle Isle roads, GA -400 at Northridge Road, and in the 6000 block of Roswell Road. I suspect they are Cinco de Mayo related.
• There were plenty of other arrest, mostly of people doing stupid-people stuff.
