Police warn residents of new hotspots where people have been reporting auto break-ins.

Dunwoody Police reported Monday that there continue to be hotspots around the city where people are breaking into cars, after responding to five car break-ins last week.

A vehicle theft attempt started at 6:40 a.m. Monday. Two males in dark clothing were reported to be standing by a car in the Sterling Condos area on Peachford Road.

Both suspects fled when the homeowner who saw them turned on the living room light.
