“This about the third time my car got broken into,” resident Sytara Berry said. “I don’t have the money to keep getting windows fixed and getting other cars.”
South Fulton police confirm they took reports at the community Sunday and continue to investigate.
Channel 2 Action News reached out to the community management company, First Communities.
“Parks at Utoy Creek took proactive measures by installing cameras within the premises prior to the management transition which occurred in 2022. Additional cameras were installed in the community in June of this year. At the time of this incident, the router which supports a select number of the total operational cameras on the premises was offline due to an unforeseen repair. We anticipate the scheduled repairs on the identified cameras to be completed this week. We are actively cooperating with local authorities during this open investigation and urge anyone with information on the incident to contact the Atlanta Police Department,” First Communities said in a statement.
