Atlanta's police are on the lookout for a man who hit a local charter school, swiping tech gear while the kids were away. The burglary at the Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School went down on May 19, police say, and the perp was bold enough to be caught on camera during the heist, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
The suspect, described by authorities as a Black man with shoulder-length dreadlocks, waltzed into the school around 6 p.m. Cameras captured the thief decked out in a dark shirt, camo shorts, and black slides, eye-catching with a gold chain and tech-savvy with a white smartwatch. The haul? Four laptops, an iPad, and an Apple Pencil—gear that's a lifeline for any modern educational facility.
Investigators have turned to the public, hoping someone might recognize the man or have the skinny on his whereabouts. Anyone with details that can crack this case wide open is urged to reach out. "If you have any information that could help with the burglary investigation, call the Crime Stoppers Atlanta tip line at (404) 577-8477," as stated in the FOX 5 Atlanta report.
Meanwhile, WSB-TV Atlanta adds that those preferring the silent treatment can drop info at www.StopCrimeAtl.org, or text it over to CRIMES (274637) with a CSA tip lead. Keeping it completely on the down-low, tipsters can stay anonymous and might even pocket up to $2,000 if their tip leads to a conviction. Because when it comes to keeping our schools and kids safe, every piece of the puzzle counts, and everyone can play a part in locking up the bad guys.
