“I want these young men caught before they’re able to hurt somebody," Tatum said.
Tatum said he’s worried after learning that Fulton County Police say they’re working 5 cases linked to the same 3 suspects who have been targeting people while driving a Silver Dodge Charger.
Now, we’re learning the trio may be linked to similar crimes across the metro Atlanta area.
Channel 2 Action News has confirmed Union City police is working four cases where they believe it's the same crew.
Of those cases, the group allegedly broke into two cars and stole two cars as people ran errands.
East Point police has another case they’ve also linked to the suspects.
