Suspects break into 33 cars in Atlanta parking garage
Police caught the trio of suspects in action and have one in custody.
According to the Atlanta Police Department, officers were called to the 600 block of Seminole Avenue around 5 a.m. Saturday after reports of multiple vehicle larcenies.
When police got to the scene, they found 33 vehicles broken into in the parking garage in the Poncey-Highland neighborhood.
"I just had this feeling, like, yup, it had to be mine," victim Jahana Wazir said. She says her car was targeted even though it only had a few bags of peanuts and water bottles inside.
"It can't be worth it. I think people are so aware now about what they leave in their cars. In Virginia Highlands you hear about it all the time," Wazir said. "People are much more aware, but it did not deter these guys."
Atlanta police say they caught a trio of suspects in action when the pulled up to the garage.
"Officers heard the sound of glass break to one of the vehicles and actually observed three suspects as they were entering different vehicles in the parking deck," Investigator James White told FOX 5.
While two of the suspects were able to get away, officers were able to apprehend one suspect, identified as 20-year-old Joshua Wynder, without any incident.
Wynder has been charged with entering an automobile, theft of lost or mislaid property, and obstruction of law enforcement. He's currently in the Fulton County Jail.
Police have not yet determined the identities of the other two suspects.
