It was reported by a Dunwoody Resident that she was at the Panera Bread on July
30, 2008 on Mt. Vernon Road in Dunwoody and witnessed a purse snatching. She
was sitting in her car finishing a phone conversation and was parked in a parking
spot that overlooked the outdoor patio, this was at 10:30 am. While she was talking
on the phone she witnessed a white 6'2 male come from the right side of Panera
(near the Scientology building) and run across the patio grabbing two women's
purses. There were two sets of women who were eating outside at Panera and the
two victims had their purses either on the chair next to them or on the ground next to
their feet. After he grabbed the purses he ran to a getaway car on the other side of the
big hedges on the left side of the Panera building. A few women followed him and got
his license plate number. All of this happened in a matter of 10-15 seconds and there
was no stopping him. The police came and they filed a report.

Purse Snatching: Reported by a resident of Dunwoody:
I thought I would share what happened to me on 4/29/08. I had a lovely meal with 6
girlfriends at a Park Place restaurant last night. We had paid the check (with a credit
card which I then put back in my wallet). We finished our coffees and I reached for my
purse as we said goodnight to each other and discovered it was gone. There were 6
of us and my purse was at my feet between 2 of us. The restaurant and Police
reviewed the security tapes and this is what happened. One 40 ish well dressed
gentleman kicked my purse away from my feet, the next guy stepped over it , a lady
behind kicked it to the side and then the 4th person, another female stopped to pick it
up and they were gone. I realized pretty quickly and called my husband to stop all the
cards. They had already charged $800 at Wal-mart and $1000 at Target. This
happened well within 30 mins. There was 6 of us and not one of us saw it happen,
the couple facing me saw nothing and the restaurant staff couldn't believe it. Please
be aware of your surroundings, I know we hear it all the time, but it really does matter!

Please be alerted that there have been 2 break-ins during the day in Deerfield within
the last 10 days and of another break-in around the corner from Deerfield in the
Waterford neighborhood that happened only a few weeks ago.
Here are the Deerfield details:
Break-in 1: Cannady Court. Around 7:30 am Saturday December 29th. A ladder was
used to enter the home on the second floor. Items were stolen from the home. A
Hispanic woman was seen leaving the area running with the items. The home owner
was out of town at the time.
Break-in 2: Redbourne Drive. Around 1:30 pm Saturday January 5th. The front door
was kicked in and items were stolen from the house. The homeowner was out at the
time but not out of town. They do own a dog but he was with them at the time. It
seems that this homeowner was watched for when they were leaving. The
description of the person, who was seen by a neighbor, was a large built
African-American man wearing dark clothes and driving a dark sedan.
The Waterford break-in was during weekday morning hours. The front door was also
kicked in. Items were taken. The homeowners were at work and they do have a dog.
