police, public information release

The Cobb County Police Department is investigating multiple entering auto cases that have occurred over the past few months. These entering auto cases are often targeted at Hispanic victims. The victims visit banking institutions in south Cobb County to make cash withdrawals. The victims are then followed to their next destination where their vehicle is broken into and cash is stolen.

Citizens are encouraged to be aware of their surroundings and watch for any suspicious persons or vehicles that may be following them. The Cobb County Police Department would like to encourage citizens to not leave large sums of money in their vehicles, whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

These incidents remain under investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact the Cobb County Police Department Precinct Three Criminal Investigations Unit at (770) 499-4539 or the Hispanic tip line at (404) 654-0402.
