\ud83d\udd75\ufe0f What We Know:<\/strong> Gwinnett County Police are hunting for an older white man who broke into a home on Cannings Lake Court through an unlocked basement door on February 5 around 4:40 a.m. The slender suspect, sporting a tattoo on his upper right arm, apparently decided the basement bathroom was the perfect place for some early morning self-care before stealing a house key, lighter, and folding knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udfc3 How It Went Down:<\/strong> The homeowner confronted the uninvited houseguest, who promptly fled the scene before police could arrive. Nothing says “time to go” like being caught dripping wet in someone else’s basement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u26a0\ufe0f Why It Matters:<\/strong> The suspect now has a key to the residence, creating an ongoing security concern for the homeowner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udea8 Take Action:<\/strong> Police need your help identifying this hygiene-conscious burglar. Anyone with information should contact Gwinnett County Police detectives at 770-513-5300. If you prefer to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or visit stopcrimeATL.com.

An unlocked door might just invite someone in for more than just a quick shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[mailerlite_form form_id=2]\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A homeowner in Lawrenceville got an unwelcome surprise when they confronted a stranger who had helped himself to a shower in their basement before taking off with several items. \ud83d\udd75\ufe0f What We Know: Gwinnett County Police are hunting for an older white man who broke into a home on Cannings Lake Court through an unlocked […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":948,"featured_media":218327,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[331],"tags":[11727,17343],"class_list":["post-218326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-odd-news","tag-burglary","tag-shower","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/948"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=218326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=218326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=218326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegeorgiasun.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=218326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
