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 April 29 through May 2:

Burglary

• 993 Johnson Ferry Road, 30342, 4/30: Someone forced their way into the guard shack/office where two safes are stored. Neither safe was forced open nor money taken. The complainant said the perp moved the camera next to the small office.
• 5700 block of Taylor Way, 30328, 5/1: This is a new residential area. Appliances were taken from several homes under construction. Some of the home were not secure. The report said there was no sign of forced entry. Taken were Whirlpool stoves and microwave ovens.
• 125 Northwood Drive, 30342, 5/1: The resident was gone from about 5:30 p.m. until just before 1 a.m. During that time, someone went into his apartment and took $100 in change, two watches at $100 each, and a MacBook valued at $1,200.
• 600 block of Mabry Road, 30328, 5/2: The complainant said he was gone from 9:30 a.m. until just after noon. He went to the half bathroom in the garage area and noticed a broken window with blood on it. Someone used a softball-sized rock to break the window. It appears the burglar left after the dog began to bark.
• 6350 Peachtree Dunwoody Road, 30328, 4/28 (motor vehicle theft — recovered): Patrol officers spotted the car in the parking lot of Sweet Tomatoes restaurant. The tag showed the car stolen from Gwinnett County on March 3. It was not occupied. The car was impounded for Gwinnett police to take possession.
• 400 block of Morgan Falls Road, 30350, 4/28 (Sandy Springs Recycling Center): The complainant said she is a volunteer at the center. She placed her purse on the bench in front of the office area while she volunteered. Sometime between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., someone took the wallet from the purse. Others at the center said a white male named Nicholas asked about the wallet earlier and they believe he took it. The victim, for some reason, would not give the officer the name of the person who saw Nicholas. Capt. Steve Rose says: Okay, you are reporting the crime and have a good lead from a co-worker who may have
  taken your wallet but you won’t tell us who that witness is? And of course, you still want a report? Don’t think so. This officer was nicer than I was. He took it. If your witness is wanted or otherwise not willing to speak to the cops who are trying to help find your stolen items, don’t call.
• 8200 Roberts Drive, 30350, 4/30: An employee of a company resigned and refused to return equipment, including a Dell computer, two monitors, keyboard and a desk phone. The complainant said the ex-employee said she would return the items when “pay issues” are worked out.
• 7800 block of Roswell Road, 30350, 4/3 (Tijuana Joe's): A customer ordered the Rancho Grande Burrito, small cheese dip and two 12-ounce Margaritas. He consumed them and refused to pay the $29 tab. The customer was still there and intoxicated when police arrived. He was asked to pay, he babbled something, babbled it again, and was taken to jail. Capt. Rose: I’m guessing that jail is where you don’t want to be when the Rancho Grande Burrito comes back to haunt you.
• 8700 block of Dunwoody Place, 30350, 4/30 (motor vehicle theft): The caller said he works for Allstate Roadside Assistance and was at the Citgo on Dunwoody Place helping another motorist when his car was stolen. The car, a gray Dodge Charger, was left running and on the other side of the parking lot. Two or three suspects in another Charger, silver in color, drove by. A short time later, two young looking black males exited that car and stole the victim’s Charger. The victim threw a lug nut, breaking the driver’s window. The car left north on Roswell Road and continued into city of Roswell. The victim’s phone was tracked to the Riverside Road where K-9 officers found it near a church. The car and suspects remain at large.
• 3100 River Exchange Drive, 30350, 5/1: The caller said his previous roommate took a 65-inch TV, Apple desktop computer, HP laptop, PS4, and a TV wall mount. He said the ex-roommate and a woman were leaving the apartment as he was driving up. He said the suspect and he were in a previous nine-year relationship. While the officer was at the location, the suspect called the victim’s phone and said “he got what he deserved” and he was going to sell the items.
• 4000 block of Spring Creek Lane, 30350, 5/2 (motor vehicle theft): The caller said she parked the car around 11:30 p.m. and left. She returned about four-hours later to discover the car was missing.
• 5600 block of New Northside Drive, 30328, 5/2 (motor vehicle theft): The caller said he parked his truck at the worksite around 8:30 a.m. until the afternoon when he discovered it missing. No clues at this point.
