The Atlanta Police Department is on the lookout for a suspected burglar who allegedly made off with several bottles of premium alcohol from Taverna, an upscale Italian eatery in Buckhead. The incident occurred on June 20, with officers from Zone 2 responding to the burglary report at the establishment, located at 280 Buckhead Ave. NE, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.

According to the preliminary findings of the investigation, the thief forced entry into Taverna and absconded with the liquor. Atlanta Police Department, now turning to the community for assistance, has issued a call for tips that might lead to the identification of the individual in question. An offering of a reward up to $2,000 stands as a potential incentive for informants, who are assured anonymity, as documented by WSB-TV.

CCTV footage from within Taverna has enabled the Atlanta Police Department to share video captures of the suspect during the alleged burglary. The authorities hope this will aid in their inquiries and prompt public recognition. Details regarding the suspect or the totality of the theft have not been publicly disclosed, the investigation is said to be ongoing.

To facilitate tips from the public, multiple avenues have been established including a dedicated tip line at 404-577-TIPS (8477), an online submission through StopCrimeAtl.org, or by texting "CSA" along with the tip to CRIMES (274637). Tipsters do not need to provide their names or any personal identifying information, which allows them to remain outside the spotlight, while still potentially aiding in the capture of the culprit and reducing the incidence of such property crimes.
