So far it is just raining in Decatur, but the temperature is expected to drop this evening, which will mean freezing.
Tonight’s Municipal Court hearings have been cancelled. Please call 678-553-6655 to reschedule your hearing for a future date.
A tree is down this morning at Lamont & Vidal, and Georgia Power is on the scene. Power is expected to be restored to the area by 10:30 a.m.
Sgt. Ross with the Decatur Police Department issued the following alert last night:
Decatur Police are investigating reports of seven vehicles entered overnight on the Garland Avenue, McClean Street and Brower Street. On 2-10-14 at approximately 7:00 am, a resident on a morning walk located a wallet in the roadway and observed several car doors ajar and called police. Officers canvassed the neighborhood and located seven vehicles that appeared to have been entered. All but one of the vehicles were parked in driveways. All of the vehicles were unsecured. A GPS unit and the recovered wallet were the only things stolen.
It is not uncommon for there to be a rash of entered vehicles during inclement weather, which we are currently preparing for in Decatur. Please remove all valuables from your vehicles. Please look out and check on vehicles in the area if you hear something in the middle of the night. Call police immediately if you see anyone going from vehicle to vehicle.
If you or a neighbor need assistance during this winter weather, please call the police non-emergency number at 404-373-6551.
Please check back here later today for updates on the weather and possible closings tomorrow.
