More Burglary Woes in Surrounding Areas
But the troubles don’t stop at Atlanta. Just a short distance away in Coweta County, another incident emerged where a family was left devastated. A suspect committed a home invasion and took off with their beloved French Bulldog, Luna. The entire traumatic event was caught on home surveillance footage, showing the suspect wearing a construction vest.
This family had their motion detectors go off, which led them to discover that their front door had been left wide open and Luna was missing. This ten-month-old bluish-gray French Bulldog was not just a pet but a cherished family member and support animal, making the situation all the more heartbreaking. Authorities are hard at work to track down the suspect and reunite Luna with her rightful family.
