#CrimeCamNow In May 2022, the Dunwoody Police Department received a report: a young man had his PlayStation5 stolen from him in the parking lot of a Best Buy store in Dunwoody, Georgia. He had met with another individual through Facebook Marketplace to sell the gaming console. However, the supposed buyer took off with the PS5 after claiming to have sent payment via CashApp. The victim quickly reported the incident to the police, providing them with a detailed description of the thief and the license plate number. Fast forward to May 26, when the diligent officers of the Dunwoody Police Department spotted a vehicle matching the description of the one involved in the theft. The driver, fitting the suspect's description, was promptly detained and questioned. Initially feigning ignorance, the suspect eventually admitted to the transaction, claiming a glitch in the CashApp system. The officer called the victim and informed him that the individual matching the description had been pulled over in the same vehicle. He asked if the victim could come to confirm the suspect's identity. Although the victim was a bit far from the location, he agreed to come and identify the suspect The officer went into a vehicle to complete some paperwork and informed the suspect that his driver's license was suspended. The suspect was then formally arrested and placed in the backseat of the vehicle. The victim arrived and informed the officers that he wished to press charges. He positively identified the suspect as the one who stole his PlayStation5. Despite the suspect's apologies and offers of money and a new PlayStation5 to drop the charges, it was too late for such negotiations. He was charged with possession of marijuana, less than one ounce, driving while license suspended, and theft by taking, and transported to DeKalb county jail Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrimeCamNow Twitter: https://twitter.com/CrimeCamNow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/CrimeCamNow
