Sandy Springs Police arrested six suspects on suspicion of breaking into numerous vehicles, and now Decatur Police want to know if they could be responsible for recent break-ins in Decatur.

There are some similarities between the crimes in Sandy Springs and the 68 vehicle break-ins and a burglary that occurred in downtown Decatur during the early morning hours of Oct. 2.

According to Reporter Newspapers, the suspects in the Sandy Springs incident entered a secured parking deck at an apartment complex on Glendridge Point. They broke into numerous vehicles. The suspects were driving a stolen Mercedes SUV, according to the police department.

In the Decatur incident, surveillance video showed “suspects in a newer model white Mercedes Benz sedan in the (downtown parking) deck prior to the burglary.” A witness to the burglary, believed to be linked to the break-ins, saw four young males throw a rock through a window before taking items and fleeing the scene in a white Mercedes.

Decatur Police Lt. Jennifer Ross said police investigators have noted the similarities.
