Arrest Made in Buckhead Jewelry and Silver Thefts
Atlanta Police Department
Police have made an arrest in relation to a string of silver and jewelry robberies in Northwest Atlanta.
Last week, Atlanta police recovered more than $100,000 worth of silver in a downtown Atlanta apartment.
Lt. Rod Woody says police arrested Farhana Sultan, who was charged with theft by receiving, but says the investigation is ongoing.
“We believe that we may have curbed this, hopefully with this arrest, and what we hope would be further arrests to come on that,” Woody says.
The group has been dubbed the “pillow case bandits.” Over a period of three to four months, the thieves stole silverware, silver platters and jewelry in pillowcases in Buckhead, Sandy Springs and Alpharetta.
Woody says police will be calling victims to come and look at the stolen property.
The police are also asking the public if they’ve seen anyone with the woman who was arrested.
