Laptop and Other Items Stolen out of Cars, Later Found in Yard

Thieves took several items out of unlocked cars, then later dumped the stolen property in a Hamilton Mill resident's yard.

Gwinnett County Police were dispatched to a Millgrove Terrace address on Dec. 24 after a resident found a shoulder bag full of miscellaneous items and a leather bag containing a laptop computer.

Police were able to make contact with the owners of much of the property. In one instance, a woman said she'd left her car doors unlocked and a thief or thieves had taken loose change, her wallet and driver's license. 

Another nearby resident was unaware her vehicle had been broken into until police contacted her after finding some of her belongings. The woman said she too had left her doors unlocked. Police were able to return shoes, clothing, personal checks and a debit card belonging to the woman.

A third resident reported his laptop had been taken out of his unlocked truck. The man was able to provide a description of the laptop which matched the one recovered nearby.

All three cases are listed as active.
